Disability

A major part of disability compliance is in the area of 'reasonable adjustments'. 

What is 'reasonable'?
It is any initiative which helps to alleviate a substantial disadvantage.  Questions staff should take into account in determining reasonableness are:

• effectiveness of adjustment is in preventing the disadvantage
• practicality?
• cost?
• potential disruption?
• time and resources required?
