- Motion text
Congress celebrates the additional rights recently secured for disabled members, students and employees under the Disability Discrimination Act. However, minimum legal compliance is not enough for a trade union, thus Congress instructs UCU's leadership, regions, branches/LAs and individual members to ensure that disability equality becomes intrinsic to UCU's culture and practice at every level.
In order to achieve a culture fully committed to equality, Congress resolves to foster the active participation of disabled members at every level of UCU by amongst other things:
Following the guidelines in Enabling not Disabling
Enacting the TUDA Charter on Disability
Developing an equality scheme which comprehensively promotes disability equality
