Disability Policy Statement

At Zodiac Training we want you to be successful.  We have written this statement to help you decide if we can provide the right sort of support to help you learn and succeed in your training programme.  We can only help if we know what your individual needs are, so come and talk to us to find out how much we can do for you.

This Disability Statement relates to the definition referred to in the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and all subsequent amendments.

This is that:
‘A person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day to day activities.’

It may apply to people who:

• Have a learning difficulty
• Have a physical disability or medical condition
• Are deaf or have a hearing difficulty
• Are blind or partially sighted
• Find communication difficult
• Have a mental health difficulty

This statement also complements our Equal Opportunities policy, which aims to prevent any kind of discrimination.

Zodiac is committed to providing suitable equipment, resources, facilities and staff support to ensure that learners who suffer from some form of disability receive the best possible support to achieve their learning objectives.

A full copy of more detailed resources details can be obtained by contacting Carole Loader on 0845 3308184.

Overall responsibility for the implementation and updating of this policy currently rests with the Director for Human Resources.

A review of this policy and associated procedures will take place annually.
