DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT

Please note in line with the act completion of this form is optional.
In accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, it is necessary for employers to consider making reasonable adjustments to accommodate a person with a disability.  Selection will continue to be made on the basis of the merit principle, however, in some instances it may be necessary to consider a person's disability and its impact upon the individual's ability to compete on equal terms with a non-disabled person.
In line with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, a disability is defined as:

	"a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term 
	adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day to day activities".

Do you consider yourself to have a disability which may have an impact on the post you have applied for?
Yes                                                                                        No
