Equal Employment
ADACAS is an “equal opportunity” employer. We will not unlawfully discriminate against anyone in our recruitment, training, development and promotion practices. We are committed to ensuring we employ the people who are the most competent in their personal attributes, skills, experience and qualifications, and who are committed to promoting, protecting and defending the rights and welfare of people made vulnerable through disability and age.
Priority of Access
ADACAS seeks to provide advocacy to as many people as possible. From time to time operational pressures impact our ability to take on additional advocacy clients. Our Priority of Access policy provides us with additional guidance about restricting intakes when we are unable to meet demand. This ensures we assist the people who are most in need.
