<p>The Equality Act 2010 (the Act) places obligations on employers in relation to disabled employees. An employer is required to make reasonable adjustments to any element of a job which may place disabled people at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled people. It is advisable for a disabled person to discuss with an employer or educational provider what reasonable adjustments they would require, since action is dependent on employers having knowledge of a person’s disability.</p><p>The Equality and Human Right Commission enforces the Act and provide guidance on reasonable adjustments: <a href="https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/multipage-guide/reasonable-adjustments-practice" target="_blank">https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/multipage-guide/reasonable-adjustments-practice</a></p><p>The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) provides authoritative and impartial advice free to employees or employers in relation to employment discrimination issues via their website (<a href="http://www.acas.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.acas.org.uk</a>) and telephone helpline 0300 123 1190 or text relay service 18001 0300 123 1190.
