If your employer knows about your disability, it has a duty to make reasonable adjustments to reduce or remove any disadvantage in the workplace. Examples may include adjusting premises for a wheelchair, producing manuals in braille format, providing additional IT software or altering your hours.
The obligation on employers to make reasonable adjustments is an important one which is often overlooked. We can explore with you whether your employer is failing to make reasonable adjustments and advise on steps to take to ensure that your rights are respected.
Not every adjustment will be reasonable. Much will depend on who your employer is and its resources but we can arm you with the correct knowledge to put you in a stronger position.
