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

  • Thank you for sharing this. I am also a primary teacher, not diagnosed but think I am autistic. I have self referred for a diagnosis as I feel I need support at work and this has helped me so thank you. It is hard though to visualise how adjustments would work in a busy primary school!

    I’ve found this community to be a great place to ask questions, especially on a topic like this where I really can’t come up with a solution myself or where I need to see things from many perspectives.

    I’m glad that this conversation has been of use to you too though. I often think that if one person has a question, many could benefit from the answer. This week I’ve spoken to my leadership team about arranging a meeting in the near future to discuss possible adjustments and managed to set a small quiet space up for between lessons. Open dialogue, with the right management, seems to be a key to this so far. 

    Beat of luck with your referral and on gaining support at work too.
