SAMH strives to be an
organisation that is truly representative of all sections of
society and is dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of
all employees and service users.
SAMH has retained the
Positive about Disabled People award since 2002 and is committed to
the 5 criteria:
- To interview all applicants with a disability
who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them
on their abilities
- To ensure there is a mechanism in place to
discuss at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled
employees, what you and they can do to make sure they use and
develop their abilities
- To make every effort when employees become
disabled to make sure they stay in employment
- To take action to ensure that all employees
develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to
make the commitments work
- Each year to review the five commitments and
what has been achieved, to plan ways to improve on them and to let
employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future
plans
