Fiona Martin, Director and Head of Employment Law, presents an introduction to managing ill health and disability for employers, focusing on how to ensure that employees with disabilities are treated fairly.

• Absence due to stress or harassment caused by employers or colleagues;
• Sickness and absence because of long Covid;
• Getting the Coronavirus vaccine for work;
