If you have been off sick and need advice, please read your local sickness policy and our sickness advice guide, as it is highly likely you will find what you need there. Our guide includes information on fit notes, meetings, occupational health, returning to work, and more.

If you have been told by Occupational Health or a medical professional that you have a disability, see our guidance for the definition of disability, and how the Disability Discrimination Act protects you.

If you have been invited to an informal meeting, or it is your first formal sickness meeting, we may not need to attend. However, it is important that we properly assess your situation, so please complete all the details below.

Please ensure that that you have read our guidance, and that you complete all sections in full. This will enable us to assess your situation and arrange appropriate advice and support for you without delay.

Please confirm that you have read our advice
