Disclosure

This play explores some of the key equality grounds including disability and family status, and also highlights the fear associated with disclosing something about yourself which may influence how you are perceived at work.

Illustrating the impact on team members and the wider organisation, we explore the benefits of an organisational culture where diversity and inclusion is proactively supported and the consequences of getting it wrong.

GRAINNE: What do you mean appropriate? Jackie, I told you that I have a condition that may, or may not, impact on my performance at work. You're my direct manager. I told you in that capacity.

JACKIE: Yes, I'm saying that the company doesn't know.

GRAINNE: So where does that leave me?
