On May 2, 2003 the National Council Of Federal Employees With Disabilities
(NCFED) (formerly National Committee of Federal Public Servants
with Disabilities (NCFPSD) ) was established. This is one of the first
recommendations to be met in respect of the Report and Key Recommendations
resulting from the June 18, 2002 Interdepartmental Forum of Persons
with disabilities: A Dialogue for Action.
Mission Statement
The National Council Of Federal Employees With Disabilities (NCFED)
represents the interests of federal public servants with visible and/or
invisible disabilities.
Areas of action include, but are not limited to: awareness, recruitment,
retention, career progression, accommodation, accessibility and training.
The NCFED provides information, advice, analysis and recommendations on
relevant issues, as well as the actions required to addressing them, to federal
public service management and other key players.
The ultimate goal is a respectful and inclusive work environment.
Note: The National Council Of Federal Employees With Disabilities
often receives personal requests for assistance from
employees who are experiencing a wide range of problems. While every
effort is made to direct inquiries to the person or organization
mandated with handling the particular issue, the NCFED does not have
any role, responsibility or resources to deal with individual cases. The
NCFED has a policy role, reviewing the broader issues and carrying out
large initiatives to bring about systemic improvements in federal work
environments across Canada. The personal issues raised by individual
employees are certainly important to our understanding of the issues
that affect federal public servants with disabilities every day and help
to better focus our policy development strategies – however the NCFED cannot actively participate in individual cases.
