Briefing Papers
The Forum's revised and updated Briefing Papers are designed to make it easier for employers both to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and to adopt best practice. They are intended for personnel, human resources, occupational health, recruitment and training specialists as well as line managers.
The updated Briefing Papers are divided into two categories: policy specific guide and impairment specific guides. Briefing Papers provide practical guidance, illustrated with case studies, on a range of issues relating to the employment of people with disabilities.
