report for others to see

qwerty

I got a diagnosis earlier this year, and the report I received was contained mainly the things that we talked about during the assessment meeting, and a lot of the report contained excerpts from the personal history I wrote for the assessor. The final report was sent to my GP and I have an exact copy of it as well. I feel that the report is way too personal to give to employers, such as containing some embarrassing examples of my childhood. I'm not sure how to get a report that I can give to employers? I've heard that some clinics do give out a report that can be shown to others, but not every clinic does that. I'm not sure what to do when they ask for medical evidence. Thanks in advance if you can share any relevant experiences!

  • I’ve got a date booked for an assessment at the beginning of August through my employer.  I’ve received an information document that states my employer will be there on the day of my assessment, or have a telephone interview about how I am at work.  And will receive a copy of the report, and be there during the follow up meeting.  I’m going to phone them as I believe it is extremely inappropriate.  And I do not want them having any report that says anything further than the diagnosis and what adjustments are recommended.  And I certainly don’t want them to be there for any meetings.  This is a clinical assessment of me, and my mum is coming with me to discuss childhood development.  My employer doesn’t know me at all, just that they find me a nuisance at work.

    Yes, I can relate to those feelings. I didn't get my assessment through work, but I can imagine it would be stressful to discuss your personal childhood issues in front of your employer.

    My nhs one won’t be till the end of the year, and I wouldn’t invite my employer to that, so I don’t see they should be involved in this one at all.  I’ve sent them an email and going to phone tomorrow morning to say no way am I letting my employer know about my childhood or my personal struggles etc.
