Reasonable adjustments in the workplace

I think a lot of it revolves around sensory difficulties, especially when approaching burnout. A guaranteed quiet space between lessons is something that sounds helpful in these circumstances, but I’m unsure if this is a reasonable thing to ask for.

Thank you for this. Lots of useful information here. I had tried to find something along these lines, but was  ultimately unsuccessful- so I appreciate the help.

One of the courses I teach is about Autism for a major British trade union. It's a difficult area that requires specialist advice from a trade union equality rep, from the NAS or another charity.

what do you need, by way of adjustments? Could the employer reasonably give them? The risk of asking for reasonable adjustments is possible discrimination, or being moved sideways or suspended, until it is considered you can work safely. Get advice from someone able to give it...

Flexible hours

Changes to the physical environment 

these should be possible, but as to what you need, only you know how your Autism affects you, which is the starting point for seeing what you might need.

What or who do you teach?

I teach adults and have had adjustments made for anxiety (before I had my autism diagnosis but one leads into the other anyway).

what sort of adjustments do you think you might need (whether or not they are feasible). what are your issues?

The Government has a web page:

where it mentions "Access to Work", which has been a help to many people:
