- Motion text
Our workplaces still have a long way to go to embed the employer’s anticipatory duty under section 20 of the Equality act 2010 (EA 2010) in particular regarding organisational change within HE institutions.
Conference notes: That there is often a disproportionate impact on disabled staff when organisational change is taking place
Conference believes: That our workplaces should not become less diverse as a consequence of organisational change.
Conference resolves: To instruct UCU to produce guidance for branches to ensure employers undertake rigorous equality impact assessments so that disabled workers are not disproportionally made redundant when an organisational change is taking place. In addition, conference resolves to provide the Equalities team with sufficient resource to undertake this work.
