Ok so im on maternity leave still but feel like i need to turn my thoughts towards my options when im suppose to return to work! (Not till Oct)

I do retail security and walk around a big store all day… 8 - 12 hour shifts with some CCTV work too… obviously now due to my balance and walking issues I cant perform my ‘normal’ duties, but its more than possible for me to do some ammended duties such as extra CCTV, and sone other sitting duties.

My problem is… I feel capable of doing certain tasks that mean i could do a good 10 hour days work… but I dont think I can actually GET there if my situation is the same as it is now!

Is there any organisation or people who are best to talk to about transport to work? I cant safely walk far enough to get to public transport (at the moment anyway!)… and a taxi there and back would make doing a days work completely pointless!

I think Access To Work could help you - you’ll find them on the Direct.Gov website - also speak to your employer, Occupational Health should probably be involved.

Sorry Luisa is right, Access to Work: get support if you have a disability or health condition: What Access to Work is - GOV.UK

Hi mrsp 83 Do they have consisrge duty, signing in visitors/contractors. Do they have an area where staff are randomly searched. Maybe acting as a fire-warden, with associated duties. Mike
