Students: Choosing your path
Some people choose to disclose their disability knowing that they may need adjustments to enable them to undertake the tasks associated with study. However many people are fearful of disclosing their disability, believing they may be discriminated against
Employees: Choosing your path
There is no legal obligation for an employee to disclose their disability to you unless it is likely to affect their performance to meet the requirements of the job. Once a disclosure has been made, however, appropriate adjustments need to be made to support the person with a disability.
