As this is a staff member with a disability should your College not be
making a reasonable adjustment in the workplace to support him/her? It is
covered under the DDA '95. Loretto

Subject: Library Fines
I wonder if anyone can advise me. A staff member with dyspraxia has run
up huge library fines (several hundred pounds). We operate extended
loan periods but this has not helped in this situation. He says that
other HEIs waive the fines for people with dyslexia and dyspraxia so
feels he should not have to pay the fines. I wondered if this was the
case at other places and whether we should consider changing our policy
on the issue? Any examples helpfully received.
king regards
