Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note please complete an online request form. You will be sent a link to book a telephone appointment with a qualified clinician to discuss your needs and issue accordingly.  Remember, for continued sick/fit notes, the goal is to improve your condition so that you can return to work.  This can include suggestions to modify your responsibilities, however, this will be at your employer’s discretion.

We do not provide sick notes for school absences.

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you have been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill by filling in a self certification form yourself when you return to work.
