An adjustment passport is a document used to create a conversation and record of any requests and implementation of adjustments that might be needed by a member of staff. These adjustments may be when someone is returning to work after a long absence or for someone who has an ongoing condition that might require specific equipment to enable them to work comfortably and safely in the office.
They should be used to support staff who may require a little more flexibility in their approach to work should they have an ongoing medical condition or a temporary adjustment while for instance as they adjust to new medication.
The Adjustment Passport stays with an employee, should they move line managers they passport goes with them. If you are a line manager who newly manages someone with an Adjustment Passport, you should ensure that the agreed adjustments are in place and should it be needed a review take place.
There may be times when requested adjustments cannot be made, if this is the case, you should record down why it is not possible to support the request. Should you have any concerns about a request being made, you should speak to HR in the first instance.
