Hello everyone,
I have been ill for a while and have taken a lot of time off work recently for physical disabilities. Today I was told that I will need to have an Occupational Health Assessment done to see if I am ok to work. What I want to know is if the assessors will have access to my medical files? The reason I'm asking is that I do not want the company to know about other aspects of my health not relating to work, ie the anti psychotics I am on. I work for an arts company so it doesn't really affect my job, but I am worried I might loose my job as most people tend to immediately jump to conclusions like I must be crazy etc.
