If you have a disability, your employer has a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments if you need them to carry out your work, or to be able to start a new job.
A wide range of disabilities can be considered for reasonable adjustments, including physical, mental, visible and invisible.
This resource is written for CSP members and trade union representatives. It considers:
- the legal framework for reasonable adjustments
- the types of reasonable adjustments employees can ask for
- the process for agreeing them with their employer
- arrangements for reasonable adjustments in the NHS
- checklists for members and CSP stewards and Health & Safety representatives
- case study examples, including neurodiversity
