Meet quarterly (based on ongoing work of the group) to look at policies that relate to staff and may have an implication for disabled staff. A recent project has been the development and introduction of a Staff Support Plan for disabled. Other projects may come from group members. We are likely to have links with the Health and Well Being Forum when this is set up.
