Reasonable adjustments in the workplace

Oakling

Hello everyone.

I just wondered if anyone had any information, or could point me towards some information, on reasonable adjustments in the workplace.

Many of the adjustments that I am aware of are not possible for me, as I am a teacher. Or perhaps it is that I am unaware of the options that there might be for someone in my role. I know my leadership team will be supportive of adaptations where possible, but I would like to approach a conversation in as informed a way as possible.

Thanks in advance

    I teach in a primary school, which I absolutely love doing. I was diagnosed after a long journey with anxiety based interactions with my GP, so I understand what you mean about the link between the two. My concern is asking for adjustments to be made now, where I hadn’t before, thus making people question why now. I suppose I’m worried about people thinking that I’m only asking because I now have a diagnosis and that I’m somehow ‘playing up’ to the diagnosis, rather than seeing what I did before as masking (which caused extreme fatigue and exhaustion). I’m most definitely over thinking things, as I’m prone to doing, but the worries are there nonetheless.
