Reasonable adjustments: collecting user experiences for a "solutions database"
conference contribution
posted on 2010-03-01, 16:18 authored by Nadine Geddes, Victoria HainesVictoria HainesThe Disability Discrimination Act (1995) states that employers must make
‘reasonable adjustments’ to the workplace for employees with disabilities. To
help provide advice on this subject a project was undertaken to build a database
of work related ‘solutions’ that would supply information to those that support
people with disabilities about their potential work related needs. This paper
presents one of a series of studies designed to determine the information
requirements that would assist people with disabilities to join or rejoin the
workforce.
