• provide a welcoming, supportive and confidential space for colleagues across the Group on issues of disability;
• provide a point of contact for, and deal with questions from, staff on disability on a confidential basis;
• raise awareness of disability-related issues across the Group;
• ensure enhanced awareness is reflected in a positive, inclusive and fulfilling working environment;
• provide opportunities for internal networking;
• to inform and influence the business on disability-related issues by providing an effective consultation mechanism for HR, learning and development, the strategic and operations boards;
• develop and maintain relationships with external disability groups and networks;
• work with and collaborate on projects with disability-related charities (including fundraising, volunteering and mentoring);
• review and update (if needed) all HR policies and procedures to ensure they are, and remain, inclusive.
