What can I expect my employer to do to take into account my disability?

You can expect your employer to make reasonable adjustments to working arrangements or physical aspects of a workplace if without these you would be placed at a disadvantage when compared to individuals who are not disabled.

In assessing what is 'reasonable', consideration is given to how practicable it is for the employer to make the adjustments and the extent to which these could disrupt the employers' business activities, the financial and other costs, and the availability of financial or other arrangements to support the changes. A tribunal would also ask whether the adjustment, if it had been provided by the employer, is likely to have made a difference to the disabled employee’s ability to overcome the particular disadvantage.
