Know your obligations. Make adjustments work.
Reasonable Adjustments in Practice is a half-day interactive workshop for managers. It covers what the law actually asks of you and how to act on it, from the first conversation through to agreeing, documenting and reviewing adjustments that hold up over time. Managers leave knowing where they stand and what to do next.
Half day | Virtual or in person | Up to 20 participants
- What this delivers
- Why it matters
- How it works
- Who it's for
- What this leads to
Most managers know they have responsibilities around reasonable adjustments. This session gives them a clear understanding of what those responsibilities mean in a real conversation with a real employee, and the practical skills to act on them with confidence.
What managers will learn
- A clear, jargon-free understanding of the Equality Act 2010 and what it means for managers in practice
- When the duty to adjust applies, including where there is no formal diagnosis
- A practical framework for deciding what is reasonable, practical and proportionate
- Where manager responsibility sits alongside HR, occupational health and the wider organisation
- How to open and structure adjustment conversations that build trust
- How to agree, document, review and adapt adjustments as roles and needs change
How this supports your organisation
- Adjustments that work, and keep working
- Consistent practice and records across the organisation
- A fair, well-documented approach the organisation can stand behind
- Managers who feel confident rather than cautious
- A better experience for every employee who asks for support
Most managers want to support their people well. What makes the difference is knowing the rules and having a clear process to follow.
When managers understand what the law asks of them and how to run an adjustment conversation, decisions become quicker and more consistent, agreements are recorded properly, and employees get support that works and keeps working.
Managers feel confident rather than cautious, employees feel heard, and the organisation has a fair, consistent approach it can stand behind.
Delivered by expert management consultants with lived experience and over 20 years of leadership experience. The first part builds legal clarity in plain English. The second turns it into practical skill through real scenarios, discussion and the frameworks managers will use afterwards.
Half day (3.5 hours) | Up to 20 managers | Virtual or in person | Practical, scenario-based and discussion-led
Tailored to you: every session is shaped around your organisation on a free scoping call first, so the scenarios, examples and language fit your people. Each workshop also includes slides afterwards, manager and employee templates, a post-session resource pack, an outcomes review call and CPD accreditation.
This session is for people managers and team leads who want real confidence with reasonable adjustments, not a watered-down overview.
It works particularly well for organisations creating a consistent standard across their management population, for HR teams who want managers equipped rather than vaguely aware, and for managers handling a live adjustment request who need clear guidance now.
Reasonable Adjustments in Practice sits alongside our two-part manager programme, Neurodiversity Awareness for Managers and Supporting and Managing Neurodivergent Employees. Many organisations add it where adjustments are the sticking point, or run it on its own as a focused intervention.
