Non-Visible Disabilities Guide

Many disabilities are not immediately apparent. For example, 10 million people are covered by the UK’s Disability Discrimination Act, but fewer than 5,000 blind and partially sighted British people own guide dogs. The line manager guide ‘Non-visible disabilities’, enables managers to make reasonable adjustments for employees whose disabilities are not immediately apparent. It helps managers to understand what non-visible disabilities are, identify how to maximise the potential of your disabled and non-disabled staff and treat disabled and non-disabled colleagues fairly while maintaining confidentiality. Susan Scott-Parker, Chief Executive of Employers’ Forum on Disability stated, “After all, talented people like Richard Branson and Stephen Fry have non-visible conditions that are covered by the Disability Discrimination Act. Their success shows that conditions like dyslexia, depression and other disabilities need not be a barrier to success.” The line manager guide to ‘Non-visible disabilities’ is available at a starting price of 5 -10 copies for £10.00 (members) or £15.00 (non-members).
