Many people who do not consider themselves to be disabled may be covered by the Equality Act 2010 because they have an impairment, health condition or learning difference that has an impact on their lives.

What do we mean when we say disability?

 Do you have a physical or mental impairment?

 Is it long term? An impairment is considered to have a long-term effect if it has lasted for at least 12 months or it is likely to last for at least 12 months.

 Does this make it difficult for you to do the things that most people do on a fairly regular and frequent basis?

Employees with a disability or health condition are entitled in law to ‘reasonable adjustments’ to address their needs for support in the workplace. Therefore we are interested in any disability or health condition that may require a reasonable adjustment to overcome any such barriers.

Do you have an impairment, health condition or learning difference that has a substantial and long term impact on your day-to-day life? Please select all that apply.

No known disability Two or more impairments and/or disabling medical conditions A specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or AD(H)D General learning disability (such as Down's syndrome) A social/communication impairment such as Asperger's syndrome/other autistic spectrum disorder A long standing illness or health condition such as cancer, HIV, diabetes, chronic heart disease, or epilepsy A mental health condition, such as depression, schizophrenia or anxiety disorder A physical impairment or mobility issues, such as difficulty using arms or using a wheelchair or crutches Deaf or serious hearing impairment
