Hi and welcome.It depends what difficulties you have at work but you need to speak to your employer about this. Some information here in the links. https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/flexible-part-time-working/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwoKzsBRC5ARIsAITcwXEP-R5TI0J2VPs4nA_5xQD9WkbjXd4ovM-UKd-T6YNlXeUsZBvpsF0aApCLEALw_wcB
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hello @lbcmac
Examples of reasonable adjustments include:
A lowered desk for small workers
A work coach
A spellchecker or dictionary for those with dyslexia
A calculator for those who have poor numeracy skills
A wheelchair accessible building for those who need to use a wheelchair
A change in mindset for employers
I hope this is useful! -
