<p>The Equality Act 2010 (the Act) places obligations on employers in relation to
disabled employees. An employer is required to make reasonable adjustments to any
element of a job which may place disabled people at a substantial disadvantage compared
to non-disabled people. It is advisable for a disabled person to discuss with an employer
or educational provider what reasonable adjustments they would require, since action
is dependent on employers having knowledge of a person’s disability.</p><p>The Equality
and Human Right Commission enforces the Act and provide guidance on reasonable adjustments:
