Part III Disclosure Concerning Employment, etc, of Disabled Persons

9

1

This Part of this Schedule applies to the directors’ report where the average number of persons employed by the company in each week during the financial year exceeded 250.

2

That average number is the quotient derived by dividing, by the number of weeks in the financial year, the number derived by ascertaining, in relation to each of those weeks, the number of persons who, under contracts of service, were employed in the week (whether throughout it or not) by the company, and adding up the numbers ascertained.

3

The directors’ report shall in that case contain a statement describing such policy as the company has applied during the financial year—

a

for giving full and fair consideration to applications for employment by the company made by disabled persons, having regard to their particular aptitudes and abilities,

b

for continuing the employment of, and for arranging appropriate training for, employees of the company who have become disabled persons during the period when they were employed by the company, and

c

otherwise for the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons employed by the company.

4

In this Part—

a

“employment” means employment other than employment to work wholly or mainly outside the United Kingdom, and “employed” and “employee” shall be construed accordingly; and

b

“disabled person” means the same as in the F2Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
