Dear All
Fehmeeda's Oc Health Dr is right - disability related absence should be recorded separately from your general illness absence. We have introduced measures to ensure we are able to record and monitor this within our organisation.
We don't have a separate policy regarding disability related absence, but we have incorporated it in to our sickness absence policy, which we're currently trying to introduce. I'm happy to discuss what we've done so far if anyone wants to contact me - but I'm not in the office now until Tuesday.
Kind regards
Claire

I'd also be interested to hear - we don't formally do this but may consider it as part of a reasonable adjustment...

Subject: Disability related sick leave
Dear All,
I hope you are all well. I was wondering if any colleagues had policies on recording leave related to disability separately from normal sick leave. Our Occupational Health Doctor is of the view that the DDA requires us to record disability leave separately from normal sick leave. We do not currently do this but are looking to explore the development of a policy on disability leave.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
All best wishes
Fehmeeda
