Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Citation in other policy documents
Impact 'Work Fit For All' was cited in the EHRC submission under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and to show they were fulfilling a duty to 'work to eliminate prejudice, hatred and hostility' under the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The EHRC relied on our research to meet its own statutory obligations in respect of people with disabilities for example, our research was cited to this end by the minister for disabled people in December 2008.
 
Description Influence on the 2010 Equality Act (reasonable adjustments, public sector equality duty, third-party harassment)
Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Citation in other policy documents
Impact Influence on Adjustments 'where a provision, criterion or practice puts a disabled person at a substantial disadvantage' and the Advancement of Equality in the public sector. The equality duty focuses on eliminating 'discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited'. Recommendations in respect of employer liability influenced 'third-party harassment'. There is evidence of influence in the evaluation of the Act - e.g. the Equality and Diversity Forum, 2011.

Title Workplace bullying and harassment in Britain with special reference to race and ethnicity 
Description This mixed-methods project comprised a large, representative survey and several in-depth organisational case studies. The British Workplace Behaviour Survey (BWBS) is the most comprehensive survey of ill-treatment in the workplace so far undertaken in Britain. It collected detailed information on the incidence and correlates of unreasonable treatment, denigration and disrespect, and violence and injury in the workplace. A central element of the questionnaire used in the BWBS was a revised version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ) (Einarsen and Raknes, 1997) which asks about experience of 21 different types of ill-treatment. Interviews were carried out with a representative sample of British employees (and people who had been employees in the last two years), to provide information on workplaces and employees which was required for modelling the causes and correlates of ill-treatment including behaviour which could be perceived as bullying and harassment. The achieved sample of 3,494 included a non-white/non-Christian boost. In the qualitative phase, four organisational case studies, each comprising approximately 20 interviewees with employees, were carried out in order to further illuminate the quantitative data provided the BWBS. The participating organisations were an NHS trust, a logistics and communication organisation, a financial services company and an engineering company . These organisations were selected because they employed HR professionals and had worker representation, and contained workplaces of the sufficient size, and sufficient numbers of employees of various kinds, for example BME employees and those with disabilities or health problems. As well as the full case studies, the dataset includes a small number of interviews in a third sector organisation producing 82 interviews in total.

Results and Impact Closing Disability Gaps at Work Conference
10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London. Tuesday 13th December 2016

On 31st October, 2016 the UK Government published Improving Lives - The Work, Health and Disability Green Paper and began a national consultation on work and health which will run until 17th February 2017. This timely conference brings together researchers, policy-makers and practitioners to contribute to the consultation and wider debate. In particular, it considers how the Government's strategy to halve the disability employment gap can be achieved where past and existing polices and approaches have failed.

Confirmed speakers include Dame Professor Carol Black, Diana Kloss (Council for Work and Health), Liz Sayce (Disability Rights UK), Huma Munshi (TUC), Professor Ralph Fevre, Dr Deborah Foster, Professor Melanie Jones and Professor Victoria Wass (Cardiff University). Along with officials from the Government's Work and Health Unit there will be representation from disability charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, Disability Rights UK, Disability Wales, and from Irwin Mitchell, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, the Trades Union Congress and the College of Occupational Therapists.

Results and Impact To date, 1300 people have taken the Disability Discrimination Quiz which uses robust academic research to help employees with an impairment or long-term illness to recognize discrimination at work. The quiz is intended to raise awareness of disability discrimination and direct disabled people to the resources of organizations that can offer help and advice. It is not being used to collect research data. The majority of those who have taken the Quiz report that "It gave me some ideas or information which might help me to improve my own situation"; "It helped me to see that there are problems which many disabled people share" and "It gave me some ideas or information which might help me to provide help to other people".The strongest positive response thus far has been for "It helped me to see that there are problems which many disabled people share".
