In-House Training in Scotland

Workplace Adjustments Training for Employees

This Workplace Adjustments Training supports disabled jobseekers and employees to understand what they can ask for at work — and how to ask for it. In just 3 hours, participants learn what reasonable adjustments are, how to start the conversation, and what to do if they face barriers or feel unsure.

Whether looking for a new role or already in work, the session is focused, practical, and delivered by trainers who understand how real workplaces operate.

Build Confidence to Ask

Learn what adjustments are and how to request them in a way that feels comfortable and clear

Reduce Uncertainty

We take the guesswork out of what’s “reasonable” — and explain how to navigate it.

Real Examples, Real Conversations

We use relatable scenarios to help people plan for real-life discussions with employers

Expert-Led Sessions

Delivered by trainers with lived and professional experience of workplace inclusion

COURSE OVERVIEW

Too often, disabled people don’t ask for adjustments — not because they don’t need them, but because they’re unsure what’s allowed or how to bring it up. This training makes things clearer. It helps participants explore what kind of support might help, how to talk about it, and how to follow up if things don’t go to plan.

The session is empowering without being overwhelming. Whether someone is entering work for the first time or navigating a current job, they’ll leave with tools and language to support clearer communication and better access at work.
