Most organisations understand what reasonable adjustments are.
- health & safety requirements
- internal policies
- compliance or risk teams
- “we’ve always done it this way” decisions
This free, 60-minute webinar focuses on the grey areas - the situations where a manager wants to do the right thing, an adjustment seems reasonable, but someone else says “no”.
Led jointly by Jess Meredith (Differing Minds) and Jodie Hill (Thrive Law), the session uses real workplace scenarios to explore how organisations can make decisions that are:
- lawful
- safe
- person-centred
- defensible
- consistent
Without defaulting to refusal, and without increasing risk.
How the session works.
- Scenario-led discussion to navigate real-world complexity
- Interactive polling and discussion
- Opportunity to submit real adjustment scenarios (optional, anonymised)
- Practical framing: not legal overload, not theory
This is not a checklist or a tick-box session.
It’s about better judgement, better questions, and better outcomes.
What you'll leave with.
- Greater confidence navigating complex adjustment decisions
- A clearer understanding of where flexibility exists, and where it doesn’t
- Language and approaches that support both the individual and the organisation
- A more defensible, human approach to saying “yes”, “no”, or “let’s find another way"
