Disabled members publish action plan

UNISON Scotland’s Disabled Members’ Committee wants to engage with all Branches in Scotland to publicise their action plan for the coming year.

The action plan is....

1. To have disabled and disability issues in all aspects of mainstream UNISON education.

2. To do a mapping exercise to ascertain Branches’ approach to representation of members with disabled and disability access issues and problems with employers, other employees and trade union reps.

3. To have disabled and disability issues more visible within the Branches.

4. To ensure all Branches have Equalities Officers

5. To have current and accurate information and legislation available.

6. To involve all stewards active in the Branch on disabled and disability issues.

7. To cascade good practice to all Branches.

Disabled Members’ Chair John Nisbet said, “It would be helpful if Branches would notify the Chair or Secretary of the Committee of names and email addresses of their Equality Officer”.
