Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report seeking to update the Employing and Managing People with Disabilities Policy.  The proposed revisions, necessitated by recent legislative changes, had been considered and supported by the Local Joint Panel, at its meeting held on 3 July 2013.  The Panel had commented that strengthening the guidance on what constituted a disability was needed.

The Committee Chairman suggested, in respect of paragraph 2.7 of the policy, adding the word “necessarily” after the words “will not”. 

The Committee approved the revised policy subject to the comments now detailed.

RESOLVED – that the revised Employing and Managing People with Disabilities Policy, as now submitted and amended, be approved.
