Hi Diane
This may seem flippant but surely you can only pass them fit for
sedentary duties. There aren’t many reasonable adjustments you can apply to “chasing
after a criminal!” I think we need to brace ourselves more for what the Daily
Mail might say when it gets hold of this.
Thanks
Lindsey

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Police fitness tests
Brace yourselves , those that offer services to Police
forces. With the introduction of compulsory fitness testing I have received the
first referral where the issue is "says they cannot do fitness test
because of their health"
No details of health issue or what part of the test they
felt they could not do, or if there were any accommodations in place
etc...
I think we may have to do some training with managers...
Cheers
Diane
