Hi @Lindaj1973 - & welcome to the community. Scope also has some info on 'Reasonable adjustments.' See: https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/reasonable-adjustments-at-work/#Reasonable-adjustments-at-work
Hope this may also help. -
Hi and welcome
Having been a HR manager in retail for 30 years some of the common adjustments were
Reduced hours
Only working certain shifts
Reduced duties eg no heavy lifting
Only working on certain tasks
Taking more breaks
Use of aids
As said above it depends on disability and employer
It is advisable to have OH referral so they can recommend adjustments required -

Hi @Lindaj1973
I'm sorry your employers haven't been willing to provide the reasonable adjustments you need That must have been difficult to deal with. Are you managing to work without them?
Scope have a webpage about what to do if your employer rejects adjustments that is worth a read. It describes the process you need to follow to challenge the decision and provides template letters to use if necessary.
I hope your employers reconsider the decision and you have some positive news soon. Please keep us updated and ask any more questions you have. Good luck.
