The Small Print

Someone's asked for a change at work. Do you have to say yes?

Reasonable adjustments in practice, for line managers, HR and people teams

Register for this session on Luma

This is for you if

  • Someone asks to work from home more, change their hours or take extra breaks
  • A candidate asks for extra time or a different kind of interview
  • A request lands and your first thought is whether you can afford it
  • Something was agreed years ago and nobody has checked whether it still works
  • Someone's work has changed and nobody has asked whether anything else has

What we'll cover

  • What counts as an adjustment, and how often it costs nothing
  • What to do with a request when you don't know the answer yet
  • What "reasonable" means in practice, and why cost is rarely the thing that decides it
  • What to do about adjustments agreed years ago that nobody has looked at since

How it runs

Each session is an hour on Google Meet. I talk for 45 minutes and take questions for 15. Automatic captions are on. You join muted with your camera off. Everyone who registers gets the recording, with captions, and the slides. If you'd like a transcript, say so when you register and I'll send one. It's free. I finish with a minute on how I can help further, if you want it.

There's no BSL interpretation or phone dial-in at the moment. If either would make the difference for you, email me and I'll see what I can do.

I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice.

Bring a situation

Bring a situation you're stuck on. Send it when you register if you'd rather not say it out loud, and I'll cover it without naming you.
