Hello

We have now had a number of staff who have had dyslexia assessments and one of the recommended reasonable adjustments is for them to record meetings.  This is causing a huge problem as their managers and colleagues do not want to have their meetings recorded.  I have been asked if we have to follow this recommendation.  My view is that it is reasonable and therefore we would be in breach of our duty to provide reasonable adjustments if we don’t support this.

However, it may make it more comfortable for the other staff if there were some “rules” around what the recordings are used for, who could use them and in what circumstances.

Have any of you come across this?  What do you do? Do you have any guidance/rules?

Thanks

Lesley
