UK Workplace Adjustments GUIDE

You shouldn’t have to burn out to be taken seriously at work.

Too many disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill professionals don’t know what they’re entitled to at work – until it’s too late.

Whether you’re navigating job interviews, adjusting to a new role, or already pushing through unsustainable conditions, support should be available. But knowing what to ask for (and how) isn’t always obvious.

That’s why we created this guide.

What’s inside:

• Over 70 examples of workplace adjustments you can request, across 9 key areas – from sensory breaks and scheduling support to job design and interview accommodations.
• Legal context made clear, so you know your rights under the Equality Act 2010 and what ‘reasonable adjustments’ really mean.
• Phrasing tips and real-world scripts to help you advocate for support confidently, without having to decode legal jargon.
• Guidance on what to do if your request is denied, including internal processes and Employment Tribunal options.
• Specific examples relevant to neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill professionals, centred on your real-life needs.

This guide will help you:

• Feel more confident requesting support, whether in interviews, performance reviews, or everyday work conversations.
• Save time and stress figuring out what adjustments you can ask for and how to phrase them.
• Know your rights, so you don’t second-guess yourself or feel like you’re asking for too much.
• Take action sooner, with ready-to-use examples and templates you can adapt to your situation.

Who it’s for:

• People entering or returning to work who want to understand their rights
• Disabled and neurodivergent professionals navigating unsupportive environments
• Advocates and line managers looking to make workplaces more inclusive
• Recruiters wishing to create a more inclusive hiring process
