The Disability Passport is a supportive tool designed to effectively enable the University to meet its responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 by helping disabled colleagues to clearly outline the workplace adjustments they need in order to thrive. Owned by the individual, the passport can be shared with their line manager to help guide meaningful conversations about reasonable workplace adjustments.

If a line manager changes, the individual can provide the passport to their new manager to ensure continuity of support. Most reasonable adjustments should be portable, meaning they can be transferred with the individual if they move to a new role or location within the organisation.

Colleagues are encouraged to also share their passport with the HR Services team. A central copy will be securely held, and HR can offer further guidance and direct individuals to additional sources of support such as Occupational Health, which can provide tailored advice.

To support continuous improvement, the HR team will share anonymised data about passport usage with the EDI Governance Committee and other key stakeholders. This will help shape and enhance future support processes.

The Disability Passport is one of several ways we are committed to supporting colleagues with disabilities. The Occupational Health website hosts further information to explore other available support options.
