Reasonable adjustments letter

Merida

Hi All, 

Have you ever written or given a reasonable adjustments letter to your employer? The NHS gave me an example, but it's all in the third person, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to rewrite it in the first? I don't quite get it? Or is it just an email stating what you need in writing? 

Has anyone had any experience with this, good or bad?

  • I would recommend using a simple email stating what the reasonable adjustments you want are, for example:

    Dear HR / manager, as per our discussion here are the following Reasonable Adjustments I would like to request to enable me to be the most productive in the office.

    1 - Allow me to use noise cancelling headphones in the office. Note these do not impact on me having conversations and performing normal duties

    2 - change the light bulbs above my desk to be non-flourescent as these cause me headaches

    3 - with instructions passed from my manager I would like the directions to be specific as I struggle with understanding vagueness. I appreciate this may be challenging initially but I believe it will quickly become normalised and automatic, plus it means the work is carried out to the exact standards reqested.

    etc

    Remember to forward this to your personal email (assuming company policy allows this) so you have a paper trail for the request.
