My Department does not recruit directly. All recruitment including persons with disabilities is conducted on our behalf by the Public Appointments Service.
The Public Appointments Service is subject to Codes of Practice published by the Commission for Public Service Appointments. The Code of Practice sets out the principles and standards to be applied in the case of external and internal recruitment of persons with disabilities and enables the Civil Service, and other public bodies, to fulfil their obligations to comply with Government policy in this regard.
In relation to persons with disabilities working in the Department, the Department of Finance guidelines for dealing with staff with disabilities are adhered to in this regard.
