Attendance Management Survey

Thanks to the hundreds of members who have responded to the survey. Thanks also to those members who added their own comments, making us aware of yet more horror stories, but also highlighting the fact that PCS is regularly winning cases for members.

The survey closes on 15th August. The more members who reply, the more significant the results will be. The survey does not take long to complete, but will provide us with valuable information which can be used in our discussions with management and our wider campaign to improve the attendance management procedures and stop discrimination against our disabled members. We are not just looking for negative experiences. We are sure that some managers continue to use their discretion and treat members fairly and we want to hear from you whatever your experience, good or bad.

The survey can be accessed on the regional website here. Just click on the appropriate box and click “vote” each time.

Alternatively you can fill in your answers on a MS Word template found here, and email it to Annette Wright or even print it out and fil it in by hand and send it to:

Please tell us your views by 15th August. The survey results will be published after this date and will be used to further the campaign.

Thanks for your help.
