Meeting legal responsibilities

Under the Equality Act 2010, employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees. This includes employees with sight loss.

Supporting sight loss helps workplaces to:

  • Comply with legal requirements
  • Reduce the risk of discrimination claims
  • Create a respectful, lawful, and inclusive workplace culture

By making sure your workplace policies comply with equality and health and safety legislation, you can help protect and support all employees.
