Guidance on Supporting Disabled People at Work focuses on potential reasonable adjustments in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and is split into six sections:
• Talking about disability at work
• How an employer could support disabled people
• Managing a disability that gets worse over time
• Disability-related absences
