At the University of Portsmouth we asked the views of disabled staff
some time ago about extending our categories for monitoring to something
more in line with the DRC recommendations. Disabled staff felt it would
be a good idea to have more detailed information so we moved to more
detailed categories last year.

Dear colleagues
I was wondering if i could get your veiws on Disability monitoring. As
you
might or might nor be aware HESA have proposed changes to disability
information we provide. Currently the data provided is the number of
disabled and non-disabled staff, and no more detail. HESA have proposed
we
provide data more in line with what the CRE recommend, which is very
detailed and breaks down the disabled category to various different
categories.
Here is a link to the proposed changes
"HESA has published a new circular setting out proposed updates to the
Staff Record for 2007/08. This is available on the website at:
http://www.hesa.ac.uk/circulars/staff/2007/07_01.html. "
i would welcome views on how other organisations have responded to this
and what others are currently monitoring with regards to staff data.
If you do ask your staff for detailed information on disability, what
has
your experience been so far?
Thank you for your time
Kindest regards
