just got a new teaching job and have been sent quite a detailed form to fill in about medical history. I have the right to refuse my new employer access to my doctors' records, but this could make them even more suspicious and I'm worried I might be refused the job! I have had quite a lot of time off, for different things, most of which I'm over, and am currently being treated for a couple of different (but possibly related) health issues. Also, some of it is rather sensitive stuff (depression - now over, a digestive problem which has involved some lovely invasive tests, possible cancerous lumps on the jaw). My current employers' lack of sympathy has made me nervous about it!
I won't lie on the form, but I really would rather they didn't go rooting through my records. However, I don't want to refuse them access and look suspicious! Am I just worrying over nothing - are they even likely to check?
Can anyone who works for a county council, especially in HR, please give me a hand?
