LTB 192/23 – Disability Rights Leaflets: Hidden Disabilities & Declaring Your Disability
LTB 192/23
20th July 2023
TO: ALL BRANCHES
Dear Colleague,
Disability Rights Leaflets: Hidden Disabilities & Declaring Your Disability
We are pleased to confirm that a series of new Disability Rights leaflets have been produced and signed off by our Disability NEC and Regional Leads.
The first is designed to give you an insight into understanding how important it is to recognise that ‘Hidden Disabilities’ is an issue that CWU representatives are dealing with more and more in the workplace. The second leaflet talks about the importance of declaring your disability as there are strong rights under the Equality Act 2010 and for people to maximize the scope of protection it is important to disclose your disability.
We are attaching two versions of each leaflet. One is the non-tinted background version which we recommend you use if you want to distribute hard copies. A dyslexia-friendly digital version is also attached and we recommend Branches use this one if they are sharing digital copies.
Any queries on this LTB should be directed to equality&education@cwu.org
Yours sincerely,
Kate Hudson
Head of Equality, Education & Development
