Help me ask for reasonable adjustments at work. My role and main tasks: [details] What's hard and why: [share only what you're comfortable with] What might help: [ideas, or "not sure"] What's helped before: [anything] Who I'll ask: [manager, HR, occupational health] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Ten practical adjustment ideas for my tasks, grouped into hours, place, equipment, ways of working and communication. 2. A short request email. 3. A meeting plan: what to share, what to ask for, and agreeing a review date. 4. How Access to Work could help, and when to apply. 5. Remind me to read Acas's guidance (helpline 0300 123 1100, Mon–Fri 8am–6pm) on reasonable adjustments. This isn't medical advice. This is help with wording and preparation, not legal advice; point me to Acas (helpline 0300 123 1100, Mon–Fri 8am–6pm) or GOV.UK for my rights, and to Citizens Advice or a union if I need someone on my side. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
