Information on the specific nature of an employee’s disability is not collected centrally.</p><p>Line managers are responsible for holding confidential discussions with their disabled colleagues to consider the impact of disability in the workplace, whether visible or non-visible, and for putting in place workplace adjustments to remove any barriers.</p><p> </p><p><em>*This figure is based on Civil Servants, who have recorded their disability status, as ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on departmental HR Systems. It is not mandatory for employees to record their disability status and employees are not asked for details of the specific nature of their disability of health condition.</em></p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 14/11/2016 14:14:59 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
