Employer / Staff Support
In work support
If you employ an individual with an Autistic Spectrum Condition then you may need to make some reasonable adjustments to enable them to do their job. Under the Equality Act 2010, it is a legal requirement to make reasonable adjustments to enable disabled employees to carry out their role.
