The questions for this DDPC are based on the Equality and Human Rights Commission statutory code on 'Services, public functions and associations' (EHRC, 2011b). Paragraph references are provided to this code and articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
In the event of queries please contact Andy Tyerman, lead author, by email:
a.d.tyerman@gmail.comWhilst submitted responses are stored anonymously, you will initially be asked for an email address. This is solely so that a copy can be sent to you for information and as a record of CPD for professional registration. You have two options depending on whether you wish to provide an email to receive a copy of the submission.
If you are happy to provide your email address at the start and click ‘submit’ at the end of the form you will receive a copy of your submission including a note of your score. These emails will be deleted on a regular basis and not retained in order to preserve anonymity.
However:
If you do not wish to provide an email address you can continue to complete the exercise by entering a fictitious email (e.g. notmyemail@gmail.com) (FYI: Google Forms requires an entry to the email question in order to enable the automatic copy facility). Whilst you will not then receive a copy of the submission or your score, you can still print your response by going back to the beginning and printing each page separately.
FYI Google Forms automatically saves your progress for 30 days when you're signed in to your Google account so you can work across devices or take a break without starting over the next time you open the form.
I hope that you find the practice checklist helpful. As you are working in an assistant role, you may have had limited exposure to concerns about disability rights. However, the DDPC will likely help you in developing your awareness of relevant duties and good practice relevant to your role as an assistant.
