[QUOTE="MaviesDavies2, post: 2510121, member: 555021"] I work in HR; the Bradford score is used as a trigger for a conversation, where the reasons behind each absence are discussed. A lot of the time there is no formal outcome, but usually lots of useful conversations about support, reasonable adjustments (which your organisation is legally obliged to consider and adopt wherever possible!) Well, that’s what the BF score is used for where I work. Go in with your detailed account of each absence; ask if your disability can be taken into account; and offer solutions as to how you will try and improve your absence levels going forward, and how they can support you with that. Ask if you can take a work colleague with you for support to the conversation. If they haven’t written and told you of your right to be accompanied, then there can’t be any formal outcome from the meeting. It can only be a chat. But still ask to take someone with you from work that you trust. They will be hard pushed to say no to a reasonable request. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
