Under the Equality Act 2010, organisations must provide reasonable adjustments in the workplace in order to accommodate anyone who has a long-term illness, impairment or disability.

A reasonable adjustment is where an employer removes or minimises anything, within reason, that disadvantages their employee.

‘Within reason’ is clearly important, as a small business would not likely have the resources to accommodate all employees who may be at a disadvantage, whereas larger organisations are more likely able to adjust.
