By providing access to the Support with Employee Health and Disability service through a link on your website, you will be providing SME’s in your region with practical help to create inclusive and productive working environments.
This service has been developed with input from employers, employers’ organisations, disabled people, and disability organisations, and remains in development. As we add content, this link will be automatically refreshed to provide users with the most up to date information. There is a feedback link on the site which employers can use to share thoughts and ideas to help inform further improvements.
