Annual Report and Accounts - The Great Western Hospital

The Trust will be working towards achieving these objectives over the next three years and will be
reviewing our progress in this area annually. The Trust will publish updated objectives every three
years to take into account changes in practice.
8.3 Policies for potential and existing disabled employees
The Trust has signed up to the national “two tick‟ symbol and supports the recruitment and
development of disabled candidates/employees. The Trust interviews all disabled applicants who
meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities. The Trust makes
every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in Employment. HR works
with Occupational Health to seek appropriate roles for staff following a change in circumstances. For
staff that become disabled whilst in our employment, the Trust actively works with the Occupational
Health Team to make reasonable adjustments to enable the member of staff to continue their
employment with the Trust.
Please note that the Trust has disclosed information on the above as required under the
Companies Act that is relevant to its operations.
