The survey, in partnership with the Law Society, has been designed by Professor Debbie Foster of Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, in partnership with Dr Natasha Hirst of the Legally Disabled research team. It follows some initial research carried out in a two-year project which ended in January 2020, involving the same research team and LDD.
‘We are aiming to build on the knowledge gained from this unprecedented period of time when both disabled and non-disabled people have had to work from home,’ said Law Society president Simon Davis.
‘This is an opportunity to identify lessons that can be learnt for future practice in the profession. We are keen to find out about their current experiences and what has and has not worked for them, as well as finding evidence of aspects of remote working that could benefit disabled people in the profession in the long term.’
The survey includes questions on changes to working arrangements by employers, selection practices for furlough and the effect of working from home on mental and physical health.
