Hi All
Hoping that someone can help me with the following request,
Could anyone direct me to anywhere in the Equality Act 2010 where it suggests that OH review pre-placement health questionnaires,
Kind regards

One caveat. For IHR it is expected/good practice to have up to date medical evidence from the treating doctor/specialist. Cases are frequently overturned without it.

Hi Janet - and thanks to all who took the time to respond to my question.
I have taken a lot out of helpful advice out of this thread - transparency being a key issue - as well as enquiry specific to health circumstance, rather than saying "we need a report".
I just have one final question, having always been in roles where ill health dismissal cases were managed by an OHP. If an employer is actually requesting a report because they are considering an ill health dismissal, can we request this without assessing that employee in a formal attendance management review, i.e. stage 3 final hearing? If it was to later transpire that the report was being commissioned for this reason, and the employee did not know this, then they have not really given valid consent for this. Please correct me if I am wrong though.
Thank you.
Lucy

Hi Lucy
I would say that we should never request a further medical evidence report without assessing the individual, regardless of whether they are having a final hearing or not. I don't believe we would be part of the formal attendance management review/stage 3 final hearing?
We wouldn't know what specific questions to ask or what type of FME to get if we hadn't recently assessed the person.
Usually we will be advising whether that individual is able to return to work in the reasonably foreseeable future and whether any adjustments or redeployment is feasible to assist the return to work
hopefully I have understood your question correctly
