Do you have line management responsibilities at LSE? Are you involved in providing adjustments for disabled staff at the School? If so, please join us for the new series of LSE Manager Forums: Demystifying Disability in the Workplace, hosted by Lucy Mu, the new Staff Disability and Mental Health Adviser, and supported by the HR Partnering Team.
These forums are for LSE managers to come and share their experiences, tips and good practice in relation to supporting disabled staff, as well as discussing the challenges associated with navigating related systems and processes such as Occupational Health and Access to Work.
The sessions will start with a brief introduction to the theme, as well as signposting to relevant support and resources. You are welcome to join for as long as you want, to listen in, ask questions, or join a discussion to talk through any specific challenges or positive experiences.
Themes attributed to each session will provide a focus for discussion and managers are encouraged to bring any themes they would like to discuss in relation to supporting and making adjustments for their staff. The aim is to be as flexible as possible to the needs of attendees.
Please register your interest in attending any of these sessions via this link.
Contact Lucy Mu via l.h.mu@lse.ac.uk for further information.
