reasonable adjustments
Under the Equality Act 2010 an employer or potential employer of a disabled person is under a duty to make “reasonable adjustments”. The duty has three requirements that apply where a disabled person would otherwise be placed at a substantial disadvantage compared with people who are not disabled. The first involves making adjustments to any provision, criterion, or practice imposed by the employer that creates such a disadvantage (e.g. where rules on sickness absence have a disproportionate impact on a disabled employee). The second involves making changes to physical barriers in the workplace (e.g. providing a wheelchair ramp). The third involves providing an auxiliary aid or auxiliary service (e.g. special computer software), where this would avert placing the disabled employee at a disadvantage. A failure to comply with any of these requirements is discrimination against a disabled person. The duty applies to employees and job applicants, but only where the employer is aware of the disability or could reasonably be expected to be aware of it.

The duty is subject to a test of reasonableness. This is judged objectively, rather than from the point of view of the employer, and will take account of such factors as how effective the change will be in avoiding the disadvantage, its practicality and cost (judged against the employer’s resources), and the availability of financial support. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) publishes guidance and practical advice to employers on how to make reasonable adjustments in the workplace.
