Sharing diagnostic report

RnR

Could I ask for a quick sense-check from the group?

My workplace HR are setting up a meeting to discuss some adjustments that I have suggested (yay!), but are requesting access to my full diagnosis report (err...).

There is information in the report which I deem to be personal and irrelevant to my working life - are they right to request this? Am I making an issue where there isn't one? I thought about creating a redacted copy to send to them, but thought I would check if anyone had any better ideas / suggestions / advice first!

Thank you all for your support.

  • Thank you all for your sage advice - it is massively helpful to have the support of this forum and a sounding-board!

    On consideration, I replied to HR stating that the diagnostic document contained personal and confidential information that was not pertinent to my work. I had already sent them a covering letter from the diagnostic team, as well as a detailed account of the challenges I face at work and some reasonable adjustments that might help support me in my role. I asked them which specific details they required from the report. I'll wait and see what they come back with. I am conscious that our HR team do not have the best track record in terms of knowledge or competence, so figure this is more to do with them bumbling rather than anything below board!

    Thanks again,

    Sounds like you've done the right thing.  They may have had the best of intentions but my experience of HR is that a lot of people don't know what they are doing or are blindly following instructions from higher up.  Also, HR departments are primarily there to protect the employer rather than the employee.
