Reasonable Accommodation Policies

The reasonable accommodation process or ‘procedural aspect to reasonable accommodation’ is a key component in the provision of effective supports for workplace colleagues and valued customers.

We ensure that Reasonable Accommodation Policies are formatted with a focus on ensuring organisation wide knowledge of the reasonable accommodation process. We work with HR teams and line managers to ensure continuity of approach across your organisation. Consultancy supports focus on creating greater awareness of ‘what constitutes knowledge of a disability’, ‘shared responsibility’ and disproportionate burden.
