New communication decision support tool - DCIDE - is now live

DCIDE (Decision-Support for Communicating about Invisible Disabilities that are Episodic) is a free tool that aims to help workers consider whether or not to share some personal health information with others at work.

People living with episodic health conditions often grapple with the complex decision of whether or not to tell their employer about their disability. For most people, it means thinking about not just their health and any difficulties they may be having at work, but also their goals, their personal preferences - and what their workplace is like when it comes to supporting workers with personal needs.

There isn't one right answer, and only the person living with a chronic health condition can make the choice that is best for them.

The DCIDE tool has been designed to help you consider some of the key issues for you in making this decision by asking you to respond to questions in five different areas that are often important when deciding whether to share some personal health information with others at work.
