Workplace Adjustments & Sickness Absence Support covering Newcastle upon Tyne
Most sickness absence and adjustment questions are really the same question: what, specifically, would help this person do their job safely, and for how long? Generic advice rarely answers that. A proper assessment looks at the individual role, the individual health issue, and what is realistically achievable.
We arrange Workplace Adjustments & Sickness Absence Support for individuals and employers across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East England area, including Gateshead, Sunderland, North Shields, Durham, using remote consultations where appropriate and on-site visits for employers who need them.
Who this is for
- Employers managing a long-term or recurring sickness absence case
- Managers who have received a report and need help interpreting the recommendations
- HR teams considering reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act
- Employees returning to work after illness or injury who need a phased plan
What's included
Following an assessment, recommendations typically cover practical adjustments (phased return, altered duties, equipment, hours), an indication of likely timescales where these can be reasonably estimated, and a review point if the situation is ongoing. Where useful, we'll talk the recommendations through with HR or the line manager directly.
