A Health Passport is available for UHD staff members with a disability, which may be visible or unseen. A Health Passport enables a member of staff to disclose information about their disability in a supportive and confidential setting. This takes place in a conversation with their line manager to include any effects of the disability and actions needed, including reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010, which may be helpful both to take into account any affects of the disability and to ensure safe working for the member of staff. It also gives an opportunity to identify and agree any information, understanding and actions for colleagues to keep the member of staff safe and well.
The Health Passport is owned and held by the member of staff and should be regularly reviewed to be kept up to date. Download your Health Passport and how to use guide.
