Use this when

Use this card when you need to request adjustments so you can take part in an interview fairly.

Key message

You can ask an employer to consider reasonable adjustments so a disabled candidate is not put at a substantial disadvantage. Put the request in writing and be specific about what would help.

What to do

• Contact the recruiter or interview organiser as soon as you can.
• Ask for reasonable adjustments, name the practical changes you need, and ask for confirmation in writing.

What to ask or confirm

• Is the interview room step-free, and is there an accessible toilet nearby?
• Can you offer extra time, breaks, a remote option or communication support?
• Please confirm the arrangements in writing before the interview.

What this does not cover

• The Equality Act 2010 applies in England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland has separate disability discrimination law.
• What is reasonable depends on the role, the employer and the disadvantage you would otherwise face.

Before you go

• Prepare a short access-needs summary and note adjustments that have worked before.
• Bring medical or access evidence only if you choose to share it, and keep the organiser’s contact details to hand.
