You've been off work. Maybe a week. Maybe months. Maybe you don't fully remember the start of it.
Now there's a return-to-work meeting in the diary and your brain has gone blank. You don't know what to actually ask for, what “reasonable adjustments” means in practice, what to say when they ask “what happened”, how to phase back without ending up in the same mess in three months, or what to do if they start quietly walking the adjustments back at week three.
This pack is for that bit. The bit nobody tells you.
What's inside
The readiness check — am I actually ready to go back, or just scared of losing the job?
The adjustment menu — 45+ options across environment, workload, communication, time, and recovery
Meeting prep — what they'll ask, what they actually mean, what you should say back
Scripts for the opening, the awkward questions, pushback, and the close
7 email templates — request the meeting, send your adjustments, confirm what was agreed, chase them when they go quiet, push back when one gets rejected, extend your fit note, disclose a diagnosis
The UK plumbing — fit notes, Occupational Health, Access to Work, Equality Act 2010 in plain English
The phased return planner and the first four weeks back — energy budget, daily check-in, warning signs
The final 12-point checklist for what to get in writing before your first day back

•You want the UK-specific bits, not American HR talk
Yes — fit notes, Occupational Health, Access to Work, and the Equality Act 2010 are all covered in plain English, not American HR talk.
