Welcome to VERCIDA website.
Skip to main contentThe Civil Service Disability Network (CSDN) connects disabled employee networks across the Civil Service. As at July 2022, CSDN has members drawn from almost 60 different departments, agencies, and government organisations and at all levels. Our members are usually the chair or vice chair of their respective network. If your organisation’s disability network has not yet joined us, we would like to welcome you into membership.
Aims
Established more than twenty years ago by disabled civil servants and those with an interest in disability inclusion policy in the Civil Service, CSDN aims to:
Key activities
Support for individuals
As a staff network within the Civil Service, we are unable to provide assistance to non-Civil Servants. We do not have individual members of CSDN and are unable to advise or support individual members of staff. We believe that support to individuals is something that is best undertaken within their own organisation and we encourage Civil Servants who have disabilities and long-term health conditions to become a member of their own organisation's Disabled Employee Network.
We are sure your local network will welcome you into membership and will be able to offer you all the support or advice and signposting that you need. However, if you are having difficulty finding out who to contact and need us to put you into contact with your organisation's own local network, please do get in touch with us. We will forward your email to the CSDN representative in your organisation who will contact you directly.
Establishing your own disabled employee network
If there isn’t already a disabled employee network in your organisation, we will be very happy to help you establish one and to support you to help it grow and develop. We can offer access to information, networking and encouragement to help you to do this, and then we will gladly welcome you into CSDN membership too.
Our sub-networks
CSDN has a number of sub-networks which support employees with specific disabilities and long-term health conditions.
