Thank you Sharon.
.it is that word REASONABLE again..I am finding it difficult to decide what is reasonable..ie change of role which means Mr Bloggs doing something he finds stressful and what I, as a clinician, should be saying is reasonable !

I will need to outline the management issues in brief as a background to the clinical issues.
My knowledge of this case is based on Mr *********account of the issues that he states are affecting him
It is not within the OH remit to comment on the accuracy/validity of Mr *********** perceptions
In my opinion much could achived by management, rather than clinical intervention in this case.....
Mr ******* states that if he could be allowed to ***, this would reduce his feelings of anxiety. This would appear reasonable from his and a clinical perspective, however it is for management to decide whether this is feasible/acceptable to the business

Hi Jane,
I document in the report the employees view, but always state clearly that it is the employees perception of the situation, not mine. I also make it clear that the most important discussion regarding the work situation is between the employee and manager. Only then can the manager make a decision regarding reasonable adjustments. It's also important to communicate to the employee that they have a responsibility to communicate their concerns to their manager, if they want that manager to be able to provide appropriate support. Ultimately it's about not being the middle man (or woman) in a conversation that shouldn't involve us. However, as you will all be aware, both parties will sometimes try to use us to further their own ends.

Hi List
Hope you all had a relaxing break.:)
I am still struggling to find a concise way to put in reports an answer to an employees perception of work place stress. This is in relation to Jo Bloggs stating (usually when there is a change either in his job role or even job due to reorganisation..that he can not do A B C (travel, meet the public, talk..whatever) as it causes him stress..has done in the past..is doing now..will do if he does it.
This is because I am also aware of our duty of care to someone who could be psychologically vulnerable...I hope you understand what I am saying..
So does anyone have a succinct way of relaying to managers what I am trying to say?
Thanks Jane
