Priority Welfare Rating application form

Whilst Welfare Officers cannot facilitate moves for staff, consideration will be given for staff to be awarded with a priority welfare rating. This places staff in a priority pool and may expedite a move to a different geographical location. This only applies to staff who have exceptional circumstances and who meet the set criteria as agreed within the Welfare Support Service.

Welfare Officers are often approached by clients who would like to be moved to a different location for health reasons. Clients are encouraged to get assessed and seek recommendations for this under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). Clients are referred to their department’s Disability Liaison Officer (DLO) where appropriate.

Any staff member wishing to apply for a Priority Welfare Rating should fill in the attached questionnaire and application form.
