When you say 'disabilities' I think you need to be a little more specific - remember not all disabilities are the same... With regards to visual impairments, we are in the process of developing our new website and have sought help and guidance from the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Birmingham, they have a department there called All Formats, and the RNIB they both should be able to help you, with things like colours, text where to use sound if possible etc.

Make the workforce aware that you are considering introducing a 'clocking in system' this isn't about caathing staff out, but in order to protect employer and employee. It is the fairest way to decide for if a member of staff is late, however, it will also show if that member of staff is willing to make up time by working over - too often it is said that people are only seen arriving to work, but not leaving? Also it takes into consideration if someone has turned up late or even early they may choose to work during break periods to make up time lost or to accrue time should they wish to leave early. These days employees like to say it's all about give and take when it comes down to time - at least this way you have the evidence to support this and it doesn't create favouritism. A member of staff cannot argue if the evidence is there, likewise neither can the employer. It a great way to protect everyone - health & safety wise and staff monitoring
