  • Managers and staff will be provided with information, training (including some face to face training), support, and advice about disability in the workplace.
  • All employees will be informed about the role of the Disability Access Coordinator and will have access to the DAC's services, where appropriate.
  • Managers will be made aware of FaHCSIA's Disability Fact Sheets about disability in the workplace.
  • Information about disability will be disseminated via the intranet, "The FaHCSIA Weekly Newsletter" and other publications.
  • Mental health issues or other non-obvious disabilities will be explicitly included in FaHCSIA's disability initiatives.
