The Capability Process is one of the most challenging experiences an employee can face. It’s often rushed, poorly explained, and emotionally overwhelming. Many people enter it without understanding what the steps mean, what their rights are, or how disability should shape the process.
This guide was created to change that.
Clear Structure for a Confusing Process
The e‑book breaks the Capability Process into six clear stages, showing what should happen at each point and how to prepare. It explains:
how concerns should be raised
what genuine support looks like
how to prepare for formal meetings
how to challenge vague PIPs
how review meetings must adapt to health changes
how final decisions are assessed for fairness
It turns a complex procedure into something you can follow with confidence.
Essential for Disabled Employees
If disability or health affects performance, the process must change. This guide explains:
the employer’s duty to make reasonable adjustments
how Occupational Health evidence should be used
what happens when adjustments are delayed or ignored
how to document issues clearly and calmly
It gives disabled workers the clarity they are rarely given at work.
Designed for Litigants in Person
Many people go through capability without representation. This guide provides:
plain‑language explanations
practical steps
red flags to watch for
examples of unfair practice
a framework for building an evidence trail
It empowers readers to navigate the process with structure and confidence.
A Practical, Supportive Resource
The guide is not legal advice. It is a clear, accessible educational resource designed to help employees understand the process, ask the right questions, and protect their rights.
It offers clarity where the system often creates confusion.
