Reasonable adjustments disability passports

The passport aims to support members and their reps to work with employers to ensure that up-to-date, appropriate, practical and correct reasonable adjustments are in place, and to:

• provide workers and their line managers with the basis for discussions and an accurate record of the reasonable adjustments that may be needed and have been agreed
• end the need to renegotiate reasonable adjustments with a new manager every time the worker changes jobs or is relocated
• provide a clear timeline for expectations and deadlines.

The reasonable adjustments disability passport allows you, the worker, to:

• explain the impact of your working conditions on you, given your personal circumstances
• explain the barriers that you encounter that stop you participating fully at work
• suggest adjustments that you think will make it easier for you to fully participate
• review the effectiveness of adjustment/s provided and the ongoing impact this has on your work
• explain any change to your health or circumstances.
• feel reassured that your manager will know what to do if you become unwell at work, when to contact emergency services and who to contact if necessary
• know how and when your manager will keep in touch should you be absent from work due to your disability
• consider including more information from your GP, specialist or other expert as appropriate to support your request.
