What The Reasonable Adjustment actually does

The work falls into a few main strands.

• Case files and deep dives Detailed write ups that combine emails, letters, policies, funding records and lived experience. For example, the case file on The Recruitment Junction and the funding analysis in Caught in 4K: Recruitment Junction Public Funding.
• Guides and hand holds Step by step pieces that walk people through complaints, subject access requests or similar processes, written in human language. The Hold My Hand section collects this kind of support.
• Informal advocacy and template support Public templates, checklists and example letters that readers can adapt for their own situations, described further in The Reasonable Adjustment Advocacy and Informal Advocacy Support.
• Signals for funders, regulators and journalists Public write ups that point out patterns in how organisations use public money, awards and branding compared with how they treat people at the sharp end.

Everything is built around documents, not vibes. If there is a serious claim, there should be an email, letter or policy extract to back it up, and readers should be able to click through and see it themselves.

How The Reasonable Adjustment works in practice

The Reasonable Adjustment is deliberately small and personal. There is one operator, not a committee. That means:

• Cases are chosen based on lived experience, public interest and whether there is enough evidence to make a clear record, not on who has a media team.
• Articles are written slowly enough to be accurate, then updated if new documents or corrections arrive.
• Names, diagnoses and other sensitive details are handled carefully. Some information is published in full because the subject chooses to own it. Other information is redacted or paraphrased because the risk of harm outweighs the benefit of naming it.
• There is a simple route for right to reply and corrections through The Reasonable Adjustment site, for organisations that bring evidence rather than PR lines.

The goal is not to look balanced for the sake of optics. The goal is to be precise about what happened, where it departed from policy, and what that meant for the person on the receiving end.

Why this domain sits under The Reasonable Adjustment

The Recruitment Junction case became important enough, and messy enough, that it deserved its own public record, not just a single article. There were questions around funding, safeguarding, complaint handling, equality duties and awards, all intersecting in one place.

Rather than let that material be scattered across different posts and platforms, The Reasonable Adjustment took ownership of this domain and built a focused archive. The case file on the main site provides narrative and commentary. This domain holds the supporting documents, timelines, trustee information and funding detail in a format that is easy to reference in emails, reports and reviews.

If you want the full story, you can read Casefile: The Recruitment Junction alongside the material here. The two are designed to work together.

Who The Reasonable Adjustment is for

The Reasonable Adjustment is used by a mix of people:

• Disabled people, ex-offenders and others who recognise parts of their own story in the case files and guides.
• Front line staff in probation, housing, healthcare or charities who know something is wrong but struggle to get management to take it seriously without external evidence.
• Funders, commissioners and regulators who need more context than a polished impact report can give them.
• Journalists, researchers and campaigners who want sources, not just quotes.

Nobody is required to agree with the analysis. The point is to make it harder for serious concerns to be buried under phrases like “lessons learned” while the same patterns continue.

Relationship with Ki-Ki and this infrastructure

The Reasonable Adjustment handles the editorial side of this domain. Ki-Ki, a small consultancy also run by Kieron JH, looks after the technical foundations, including Cloudflare configuration, static building and evidence grade logging, under its Neutral Infrastructure Policy.

That split means:

• The Reasonable Adjustment decides what is written and what documents are published.
• Ki-Ki makes sure the site stays online, secure and well logged, without taking a position on the editorial content.

For readers here, the main point is that one person is responsible for both sides, and they have chosen to separate the hats so that other people can see where editorial judgement ends and neutral infrastructure begins.
