when you return to work from sick leave is there a time limit on when management should hold a back to work interview.
can the manager fill the form out for you and just ask you to sign it

No thats wrong. I have pasted the section about btw interviews from conduct case belo,
3. RETURN TO WORK DISCUSSIONS
When someone returns to work from absence the line manager must aim as soon as possible to speak privately and out of earshot of others with the person in a non-threatening and supportive way outside formal procedures with the following objectives:

• to acknowledge the employee's return and show it is valued
• for the employee to air any concerns
• to see if any help is needed and provide direction to encourage regular attendance
• to ensure absence is appropriately certified

Absences due to sickness are assumed to be genuine.

A return to work discussion will take place but employees will not be required to disclose information of a personal or sensitive nature if they choose not to do so.

A diary note that a return to work discussion has taken place will be kept in addition to the confirmation on the self-certification form
