Work & MS: Reasonable Adjustments & Support Webinar (LWUK)

Reasonable adjustments are there to support you and to ensure you have the support to enable you to continue to work. A reasonable adjustment is a change your employer has to make to avoid you being put at a disadvantage at work. It could be a change to your role or your working environment.

It’s important to remember that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach to reasonable adjustments in the workplace: the support you will need, if any, will be individual to you.

We’ll be joined by a panel of speakers, including Jordan Lyell, Talent Engagement Manager from Diageo. We’ll also hear from people living with MS who’ll share their job roles and adjustments they have adopted in their place of work.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• What are reasonable adjustments?
• What is Access to Work?
• What can Access to Work support me with?
• Working with my employer to get reasonable adjustments in place

Our webinars offer a safe, fact-based space that you can attend anonymously. These events are for anyone affected by MS, whether you are living with MS, a friend, family member, carer, or colleague of someone living with MS or a healthcare professional. Our webinars are recorded, and we send a recording of the session to all those who register.
