Workplace adjustments

Work out what changes would help you at work, and feel ready to ask for them.

Common adjustments

Small changes, big difference

01 — Time

Flexible hours

Changing start and finish times, extra breaks, or time off for appointments.

02 — Place

Where you work

Working from home some days, a quieter desk, or a workspace closer to facilities.

03 — Tools

Equipment, software, and skills

An adapted chair or keyboard, screen reader software, a headset, or training.

04 — Tasks

Changes to duties

Swapping some tasks, adjusting targets, or a phased return after absence.

How we help

Before, during and after

  • Think through what would actually make a difference for you.
  • Plan what to say to your manager, and practise it if you’d like.
  • Talk through what to do if the answer isn’t what you hoped.
  • Check in afterwards to see how the changes are working.

Your rights

Where to get advice

We’re not legal advisers

We can share our experience, but we can’t give legal advice about your rights at work.

For that, organisations such as Acas and Citizens Advice offer free, impartial guidance.

Talk to someone who’s been there

Free and confidential. Get in touch whichever way feels easiest, and a peer support worker will get back to you.
