Hi Fehmeeda,
Below is a quote from the publication "From compliance to culture
change: disabled people working in lifelong learning
Interim Report of the Commission for Disabled Staff in Lifelong
Learning"
"Data from LLUK suggest that between 1.1 per cent and 3.1 per cent of
disabled staff have declared a disability in all regions apart from
Yorkshire and Humberside who have identified 4.0 per cent of staff. Our
data from human resource and senior managers show average disclosure
rates similar to the LLUK analysis of 2.8 per cent."
Best wishes,
Moira

Subject: Disability disclosure rate
Dear All,
We are looking at ways to improve our disability disclosure rate for
staff (which is currently less than 3%). We have developed a website
that is dedicated to providing details of support for staff, clarified
the procedures on disclosure and introduced the Disability Confident
programme as part of induction as well as focused on other developmental
activities to raise awareness of disability equality. We are also
looking to carry out at Data Capture Exercise in respect of disability
over the coming year.
I was just wondering if there is a benchmark for the HE sector in terms
of disclosure that we should be aspiring to? Is there a HE sector
average for disclosure?
Best wishes
Fehmeeda
