Security company signs up to disability passport

The GMB has reported that Securitas has become the first security employer to sign up to a “life-changing” reasonable adjustments disability passport

The union describes the passport, which was developed along with the TUC, as a straightforward, worker-owned process, that removes the uncertainty disabled workers may face around reasonable adjustments.

The move will mean all staff will be covered by the policy – which agrees the adjustments for employees with disabilities need to stay in work.

Nell Andrew, GMB national equality and inclusion officer said: “We believe this passport will promote dignity, and highlights the value of disabled workers' work.”

Sarah Hayes, HR director at Securitas Security Services UK, added: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with the GMB."
