Talking human to human: disability in a pandemic

With the pandemic likely to have a disproportionate impact on disabled staff, we ask how workplaces and individuals can respond successfully. Joined by Jane Hatton, CEO and founder of Evenbreak, and Acas workplace adviser Caroline Sandy, we look at:

  • What a good conversation around disability looks like
  • Common myths
  • How to ask for adjustments, especially when you think your workplace may not be supportive
