The Club provides creative play including art and crafts, adventurous and sociable games, sport, drama and computing. Further details are available from the Personnel Office. Adjacent to the Nursery, there is a Pre-School Playgroup and Toddler Group which provides sessions throughout the week for groups of children up to 5 years old. It operates in school term time and some afternoons in the summer vacation. For further details contact the playgroup.
New buildings incorporate facilities for disabled users.
If staff with disabilities identify particular problems where Estates and Buildings may be able to help, they should contact the Director. In relation to employment, Application forms make it clear that applications from disabled people are welcome and that, when short-listing and interviewing, disabilities not relevant to the job are disregarded. When interviewing a disabled candidate, consideration must be given to adjustments to the job, to equipment or to the working environment, including accommodation, where practicable. The early working days of newly recruited disabled persons are closely monitored so that problems which are identified can be discussed openly with a view to finding ways of overcoming them. Where employees become disabled, every endeavour is made to assist them back to full-time employment, whether in their existing job or a suitable alternative.
