Understanding Disability
As an employer, you should create an open, accessible, and comfortable environment for every employee and prospective employee.
Language matters, and you should always be respectful of others and their feelings.
When it comes to disability, some people advocate for the use of ‘people first’ language, which places emphasis on the person first and the disability second, i.e. a person with a disability.
On the other hand, some disabled people say that they are not a ‘person with a disability,’ but rather they are a ‘disabled person.’
Reasonable Accommodation
The Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 oblige employers to make reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities.
Employers must also make accommodations to enable people with disabilities to return to work having acquired a disability, as well as to participate in the job application process and enjoy benefits and privileges accorded to other employees.
