Law Society Guidance for Supporting Disabled People in the Workplace

The Law Society has recently published new guidance to support disabled people in the workplace. The guidance aims to provide practical advice and support for both employers and employees to ensure that disabled individuals are able to thrive in their work environment.

The guidance covers a range of topics, including reasonable adjustments that can be made to support disabled employees, as well as how to effectively communicate with disabled colleagues. It also provides information on the legal rights of disabled individuals in the workplace, and how to address any discrimination or harassment that may occur.

The Law Society hopes that this guidance will help to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for disabled people across England and Wales. By providing clear and practical advice, they aim to empower both employers and employees to work together to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities to succeed in their careers.

This news comes at a time when there is a growing awareness of the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. By providing this guidance, the Law Society is taking an important step towards creating a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all individuals, regardless of their disability status.
