Workshop: Reasonable adjustments: your questions answered
7th March 2007, 00:00am - 00:01am, Central London Past event
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires employers to make adjustments in the workplace, both to the physical environment and working arrangements, if they make it difficult for a disabled person to do their job.
Whether it be to change a sickness absence policy, a flexible working agreement or an adaptation to a workstation, an adjustment is anything that you do to make it possible for an employee to continue working for you.
Our members commonly ask us 'How do I know what is reasonable?' This event will help you to address this issue, working through different scenarios, taken from actual member queries, to bring the subject area to life. Delegates will work together in small groups to discuss best practice solutions and share their own experiences. This event will equip delegates to make informed decisions when making reasonable adjustments in the workplace.
