Reasonable Adjustment Policy

4. Confidentiality

At all times, the individual(s) responsible for processing a request for a reasonable adjustment or implementing a reasonable adjustment will respect the privacy of the applicant or employee who has requested the adjustment. Information about the applicant or employee's disability will only be disclosed to a third party with the consent of the applicant or employee.

However, in order to introduce an adjustment into the workplace, it will be necessary for information about the impact of the employee's disability or condition on their work performance to be disclosed to the appropriate supervisor (s).
