How speaking out and formalising new standards can transform people’s experience of disability at work
Case study- As part of its aims to improve the culture for disabled staff at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the organisation has been finding ways to listen and support staff with real change.
Kate Smyth is Lancashire Teaching Hospitals’ Board sponsor for their Living with Disability Staff Ambassador Forum. Emma Wright is a clinical governance manager and the forum’s chair.
Kate and Emma have formed a supportive connection that provides Emma with an opportunity to speak up and lends her forum authority to further improve aspects of the culture for disabled staff at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals.
Kate goes to Emma’s meetings when she can but does not always stay for entire meetings as she does not want to take over or inhibit discussion and action planning.
