I think I would require proof of the course. Then look at what possible adjustments can be made.
I agree though it sounds like a big ask of any company. It’s not reasonable to expect a company to lose an employer for 60% of their working hours and still pay them.
Would her condition be covered by the Equality act?
HR would need to be involved if possible.

Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] courses for personality disorders
Good morning jiscers.
Wonder if anyone has heard of anything similar plesae?
I have just received a referal for an employee whom has recently recieved a diagnosis of a personality disorder. She has advised her employer that she has been invited to attend a course...3 days a week for 18 months.
I have not seen the employee yet....but work are asking if this is realistic ?
Just wondered, if anyone had come across this length of course before and if the workplace accomodated it ?
Many thanks in anticipation
