Know my rights

At work

Reasonable accommodation, discrimination, disclosure and accessible workplaces.

In simple terms

Disabled people should be able to participate in work without avoidable barriers. A workplace may need to consider reasonable changes to how work, communication, equipment or the environment is arranged.

Questions to help you understand the barrier

  • What barrier is stopping you from doing your work or taking part equally?
  • What change would remove or reduce that barrier?
  • Have you explained the barrier and requested a practical adjustment in writing?

Possible next steps

  1. Write down the barrier and the adjustment you are asking for.
  2. Keep copies of emails, policies and decisions that relate to your request.
  3. If the issue is not resolved, ask what internal grievance, HR or formal complaint process is available.
