Sickness absence

The College is committed to ensuring staff wellbeing and does this by:

  • ensuring equality of opportunity and ensuring consistent application of the Sickness Policy. 
  • ensuring adjustments to support staff who have disabilities, where reasonably possible.
  • ensuring staff are supported as much as possible with their work-life balance.
  • managing sickness absence using the Bradford Index Score.

The following guidance has been designed to act as a quick point of reference and for further details please refer to the full policy which can be downloaded from this page's sidebar.
