DDA in a resign

Post by jasonp »

I don't know if anyone can help me here ....
we are having a resign in our office after our 2nd revision in 2 years.
There are a number of DDA's. I understand that duties will be ring-fenced for those with DDA's.
My question is ....if someone with a disability is 130 on the seniority list and there are only 120 duties, does that person leapfrog over
everyone else ?
This seems a little unfair to me, we seem to be discriminating against those that haven't got a disability
hope that make sense

It all depends if their disability is a justified reason to be ringfenced.

I can see the reason for the ring-fencing if they are going to get a duty anyway, but feel that if they aren't then they shouldn't leap frog others.
RM should have to find work for them as a RTI

Duty should have been planned in the duty builder then ring fenced

If they don't "leapfrog", how do you fulfil your legal responsibility to make reasonable adjustments?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
