Could someone tell me what the
insurance company has got to do with this? I haven’t come across this
before.
Just wondering if there are any
Equality Act considerations which could affect this
situation.
Thanks

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Phased return to
work
Dear List,
I’d be interested in your views on the following experience
of a teacher friend who was seeking a phased return to work. They were
told that, if they had a phased return, the school would have to bear the whole
cost as the insurance for a supply teacher does not cover phased return.
The implication here is that the insurance company’s view is “keep away or come
back full time”. Has anyone come across such a view before? It seems
rather contrary to any current ideas on returning to work – and more expensive
for the insurance company.
I look forward to your comments.
Kind regards
Kevin

Dear Kevin
I have had a reply from Felicity
which she sent last night - this is what it said.
Glad to hear
things are improving. I will ring HR tomorrow and get advice about a
phased return. It is a good idea and I would support this but I think we
have to bear the whole cost of the cover as the insurance doesn’t cover
it. I will check. I was wondering if you would like to do the
appraisal interviews for your team as we are at that time again! I will
ring you after I have been in touch with HR so we can talk about it then.
It will probably be tomorrow night.
