The EEO Management Plan links employment and training & development strategies for target group members with the priorities of Council’s HR Strategic Plan. Strategies in place in 2005/2006 are as follows: Council provides three options for accessing information about recruitment positions that are advertised (phone, fax and website). Where a job applicant indicates that they have special needs prior to interview, Council provides reasonable adjustments, where possible. Pre-employment medicals are monitored to ensure appropriate assessments of reasonable adjustments are considered, and that pregnancy or potential pregnancy is not considered in the selection decision, unless specifically relevant. Council provides reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities, carer’s responsibilities, or who are pregnant. A variety of flexible working arrangements have been put in place for people with carer’s responsibilities. Council provides accurate information to staff about access to leave for parental purposes, and their rights at work during, before and after pregnancy. For the last five years, a position of Garden Labourer in Waverley Park has been a designated Disability position – incumbent in place. Number of child care places provided for staff. C&TS 58 Council provides eight 0-3 year old places at Gardiner Child Care Centre for children of Waverley Council staff. This was increased from five to eight places at the beginning of 2006.
