International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities which aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and rally support for the dignity, rights and wellbeing of people with disabilities. There are an estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide who face many barriers to inclusion in many key aspects of society, including their place of work.
To celebrate this important day under this year’s theme ‘the Future is Accessible’, and help break down those barriers together, we would like to bring your attention to Health Passport. Successfully piloted with our Project Search interns, the passport is designed to help colleagues who have a disability, long term health condition, mental health issue or learning disability/difficulty access the workplace place support they need as they move through their NHS career. More information about the passport can be found here.
