Resources for disabled staff in higher and further education (the UK only) Ms. Williamson of Oxford Student Mental Health Network asked: "Is anyone aware of any web sites with guidance information for disabled staff members within HEIs or know of any organisations who will provide information?" A research project at City University has been looking into the emerging public policy issues from the implementation of the Part II (Employment) of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) over a year as a part of the larger integrated project on disability and higher education (As well as further education). The output would include the peer-reviewed papers (currently under the preparation) as well as resource web site for the disabled staff in higher education such as the annotated full text of the DDA, related regulations and other materials such as newspaper article digests as a part of the research project web site at http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/index.htm The resources on this web site may have already been relevant and helpful to disabled members of the staff in higher education since the Part IV (Students) and Part II (staff) provisions are largely similar. The members of the staff may wish to contact the Researcher directly on what kind of resources they would like to see in this web site at [log in to unmask] It is also possibble to provide one-to-one advice and guidance on the implementation of the DDA such as the reasonable adjustments upon contact directly by disabled staff and applicants. The list members may also wish to offer comments on the content of such web site aimed at the memebrs of the staff in higher education. Hope this helps with the enquiry for communication purposes. ________________________________ Ozcan KONUR Postal address: Rehabilitation Resource Centre (Walmsley Building Room W223), City University, Northampton Square, London EC1V 0HB, The United Kingdom.
