The Reasonable Adjustment Flag is a national record that shows a person needs accomodations and may include details about their impairments and necessary adjustments

Under the Equality Act 2010, The Reasonable Adjustment Flag is a national record that shows a person needs accommodations and may include details about their impairments and necessary adjustments organisations have a legal duty to make changes in their approach or provision to ensure that services are as accessible to people with disabilities as they are for everybody else. These changes are called reasonable adjustments.

This includes people with a physical disability, a sensory disability, people with a learning disability, autistic people and people with a long-term health problem such as dementia.

Impairment types could include: 

• Vision - for example blindness or partial sight
• Hearing - for example deafness or partial hearing
• Mobility - for example walking short distances or climbing stairs
• Learning or understanding or concentrating
• Memory
• Mental health
• Social or behavioural - for example associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) which includes Asperger’s, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Reasonable Adjustments could include:

• Making sure there is good access for people who use a wheelchair 
• Providing plain English or easy read information
• Having a quiet space available for people waiting for their appointment
• Making sure there is a hearing loop system in consultation rooms
• Ensure there is access to a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter to support at appointments or an internet video-link that could be used with BSL interpretation remotely
