Internal staff
policy
The Commission has adopted a code of good
practice on the employment of people with disabilities. The following
points of the code are of particular note: adaptation of the
examination/recruitment
procedures to the needs of disabled candidates, access to specific training
when needed for disabled officials, staff retention measures involving technical
support, reorganisation of work and flexible or part-time working, entitlement
to reasonable accommodation of the working environment. A training module
on disability awareness will be developed and the Commission will appoint
an official responsible for the implementation of the Code. De facto measures
have been implemented in competitions.
The Commission has also undertaken to develop long term strategy to locate its offices in buildings that are accessible and usable by all clients (and staff) and potential clients (and staff) of the Commission. During recent years, the Commission has introduced a number of specific adaptations to its existing premises. In the future, all new buildings will have to comply with minimum standards of accessibility and non- adapted buildings will be progressively improved or given up.
