Adjustments for mental health conditions where subject does not take the medications required for them to meet role requirements
In England would it be reasonable to argue that someone with an ADHD diagnosis (though we have not confirmed that) who has told us they do not take their medication is contributing to there own situation and that we cannot be required to make addtional more adjustments. In an interview (for a volunteer role at a charity) the interviewee disclosed that that had ADHD and that becuase they did not liek their medications (the side effects) we must allow them to be inconsistent with their attendance and time keeping. If it were somethng like giving written instructions I could accpt this but we cannot run the charity with people who do not turn up in time to meet the minibus of service users or who leave early without allowing us time to address cover. I know that voluntary roles are different but how do I navigate this through the law - The interviewee will face sanctions from DWP if they do not take part in the role that they have applied for if we offer it.
