Staff DisAbility Network
Is to support staff who have a disability, have a long-term health condition or neurodivergence and to support those working with or who are interested in inclusive practices. If you are interested in joining or want to learn more please edi@ul.ie
Reasonable Accommodations
Reasonable accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis following a needs assessment and in accordance with the individual's certified disability/specific difficulty. Staff must in the first instance discuss the supports required directly with their manager. The University strives to provide reasonable accommodations for staff with an existing disability or who acquire a disability during their employment. There are a number of possible options when members of staff acquire a disability in the course of their employment. These may include: Continuing in the same post, Redeployment, Job Restructuring and Re-Training.
Additional advice/support is available from the Health and Safety team: hnsbookings@ul.ie and the Employee Relations Office
