- What it is
- The UK government's guide for employers and workers on reasonable adjustments. It says employers must make adjustments so disabled workers are not substantially disadvantaged, and gives examples such as changing equipment or the recruitment process.
- How much weight it carries
- Official UK government guidance. It is a short summary that does not quote the Equality Act 2010 itself, and it does not cover Northern Ireland, which has separate law.
