Reasonable-adjustment dispute redaction is the removal of personal and clinical data from a disability file under the Equality Act 2010 s.60. That section limits fitness-to-work enquiries at the pre-offer stage and keeps such material apart from selection. anonym.plus marks names and medical detail on your device, so the dispute stays clear while the worker is shielded.
When this applies
An adjustment file holds a diagnosis, an occupational-medicine note, and the worker's name. You strip those details under s.60 before the record is shared.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- The app marks the worker and any clinical terms.
- Built-in OCR reads a scanned occupational-medicine note.
- Keep the requested adjustment described.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The dispute file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact suits sensitive entries).
- Optional allow-list for the adjustment term.

Limitations & cautions
Section 60 restricts when a fitness enquiry is even permitted, not only its storage. The app removes the data; it does not judge timing. A rare condition can still single out a worker, so review the note and confirm the s.60 position with HR or counsel.
Frequently asked questions
Why keep medical material separate under s.60?
Section 60 limits pre-offer enquiries and keeps such material apart from selection. anonym.plus removes it from the file so general records carry no clinical detail.
Can the tool read a scanned occupational-medicine note?
Yes. Built-in OCR reads the image, then marks names and clinical terms so you can black them out.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so the dispute file and any medical detail stay on your machine.
