The new guidance published by ACAS  is important reading for all HR Managers and Managers.

The guidance covers

  • What reasonable adjustments for mental health look like;
  • How to request them;
  • How employers should respond to such requests; and

The guidance suggests considering adjustments even when employers aren’t sure there is a disability and further outlines examples of such adjustments as we would expect covering: 

  • Styles of communicating;
  • Breaking tasks down;
  • Removing stressful aspects;
  • Relocations; and
  • Regular monitoring.
