Description

This book is a practical companion for those adapting to the recent changes of the Disability Discrimination Act and for those who wish to welcome Britain's changing demographic structure.

It offers employers relevant authorities to help them with sensitive issues. It is a sourcebook for those wishing to take a pro-active approach to embracing diversity, and can be referred to for specific queries.

There are four sections, each dealing with a different aspect of diversity: illness and disability, religion, nationality and demographics.

The sourcebook comes in a ring-binder with pull-out sheets to make it easy to use and update.

With an extensive list of contacts for further information it will prove an invaluable resource for any client-based professional.

'A crucial issue in supporting disabled people is overcoming ignorance of impairment, and how to support disabled people appropriately. This sourcebook is an invaluable source of information which is an important starting point in making workplaces fully accessible to disabled people.'
