The Government’s Adjustments Planner (launched in November 2023) is to help disabled learners and students plan conversations to have with employers about the adjustments they need in work. If you have a disability, a health condition or have additional requirements which mean you need adjustments, to help ensure your adjustments are documented you should consider completing an Adjustments Planner. Learners and students may choose to complete the Planner themselves, or they may speak to their school, college, or university about it. Once completed, you can update the Adjustments Planner at any time to reflect changes in your requirements or support needs.
Using the Adjustments Planner is optional, but an Adjustments Planner could provide a useful tool to support you to progress in higher education, take up work during term time or move into employment by enabling you to plan your future.
The Adjustments Planner can support you by:
- enabling you to identify any extra support or arrangements you might need whilst you are a student or in the workplace
- raising awareness of support in education, including Disabled Students Allowance
- supporting an Access to Work application for extra support
