Reasonable adjustments at work

Magnolia1

I am a primary school music teacher. I have just been diagnosed and have a meeting with my head this afternoon about putting strategies in place to help me.

What reasonable adjustments can I ask for ?

I feel really anxious about it as I have been doing this job for ten years (they know I have struggled) but now there is a legal reason they have to help me but I just don't know what I can ask for. 

Any ideas welcome !

  • So it was a bit of a non meeting in the end. She said we didn't really have time to do much today. She wrote down when my most difficult times are and said to give her a copy of my timetable. She is going to read the n a s page for employers and we are meeting for an hour when schools get back after Easter.

    It sounds like she's trying her best, as she wasn't sure what to do so is going to go off and do some reading.

    I've found that line managers are often like us and don't know what would and what wouldn't help as they have little experience in this area. In fact they tend to have less knowledge as its difficult for them to fully understand why certain things causes us so much distress and why.

    Did you mentioned an A2W or a NAS workplace assessment or are you leaving that for now?

    So that gives you time to prepare.........read the NAS page yourself so you know what she knows & you can refer to it?

    Hopefully you are feeling a little less anxious now?
