Reasonable adjustments

TheJay

Hello there,

I work from home following an occupational health assessment and have today been diagnosed with ASD. 

Who is responsible for funding earphones to minimise disruption for any instances I have to go into the office to block out all my triggers and help me to concentrate? It was a recommendation in my occupational health report, which was requested and paid for by my employer.

  • Hello! I also work from home following an OH assessment, and I was also recommended noise cancelling headphones which I wear most of the time at work (both at home and if I need to visit the office). As others have said it's your employer's responsibility. I would expect them to be able to afford the headphones as they paid for the OH assessment, however, if they deem the headphones as not 'reasonable' due to cost then you can apply to Access to Work to cover the cost. However if you are a civil servant some departments can no longer use Access to Work. Best of luck.
