<p>The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) has the following arrangements in place:</p><p>a)
The NIO does not have its own disability networks, but works with the Ministry of
Justice to ensure our staff have access to the MOJ’s well established networks;</p><p>b)
We are in receipt of the Disability Confident leader status following our submission
to be accredited in 2018;</p><p>c) Requests for reasonable adjustments are implemented
wherever possible, reasonable and practicable. The NIO also supports Workplace Adjustment
Passports;</p><p>d) All staff have a right to submit a request for flexible working
regardless of their length of service, and this is offered to all new starters. Where
possible, the requests are accommodated, such as through providing term-time working,
compressed hours, or 9-day fortnights.</p>
