- Decision
- Carried
This Conference notes with concern that in cases where reasonable adjustments to role for disabled people are not possible, and subsequently those people are moved into a role that does not qualify for special officer status, NHS Pensions remove their special officer status. We believe this is direct discrimination against disabled members because of the involuntary nature of the move.
This Conference moves that special officer status for disabled people is protected under such circumstances. We call upon UNISON national negotiators to enter into negotiations with NHS Pensions to resolve this issue.
