Documenting adjustments

UNISON says it is imperative that union reps document any requests for, and decisions made about, making adjustments in relation to mental health problems the member has in the workplace. In particular, reps should make a note of:

• what work issues were of concern to the member;

• what advice the rep sought about adjustments;

• evidence of how they supported their member to discuss with the employer what adjustments would be put into place;

• what adjustments were agreed and a process for reviewing arrangements.
