Creating equal opportunities in the workplace means recognising that not everyone experiences work in the same way. The Health Adjustment Passport is designed to bridge the gap between diverse candidates and employers, ensuring that barriers linked to health or disability do not stand in the way of talent.

For candidates, the passport provides a simple way to:

• Record the adjustments you may need at work, such as flexible schedules, assistive technology, or transport support.
• Access government support through the Access to Work scheme, which can help fund equipment, coaching, or travel assistance.
• Share your requirements with employers in a clear, structured format, giving you confidence in recruitment and in the workplace.

For employers, the passport promotes transparency. It allows you to understand candidate needs at an early stage, meet your responsibilities under equality law, and demonstrate a real commitment to inclusion. Employers who embrace this process not only comply with obligations, they also unlock stronger engagement and higher retention from a more diverse workforce.

The passport can be completed online through GOV.UK

It is available in formats including PDF, ODT, large print, and easy read. Once completed, it can be updated and reused across different roles.

At Diversity Jobsite, we encourage employers to see the Health Adjustment Passport as more than paperwork. It is a practical step toward equity, helping both recruiters and candidates shape workplaces where diversity is supported and valued.
