We are often contacted by disabled clients who have sought reasonable adjustments from their employer to support them at work. Unfortunately, for many clients, their employers have refused to make those adjustments leaving them in difficulty. Read on for more information.
I was delighted to represent my client in their disability discrimination claim. Read on for more information about my client’s story.
Disabled employees and workers have additional rights and protections in the workplace through the Equality Act 2010. Such rights are protections are clearly needed as recent studies have identified that almost half of disabled people in employment consider they have suffered in the workplace because of their disability.
Unfortunately, public perceptions of what is and is not a disability can lead to misunderstandings about who is protected under the Equality Act 2010. I often speak to people who are struggling at work because of a physical or mental condition and did not know they had rights and protections available to them.
I recently completed an Employment Tribunal claim for my disabled client. This was an extremely complex matter, not only because of my client’s medical conditions but, also, in respect of the types of disability discrimination claims she was pursuing at the Employment Tribunal. Please read on for further information.
We often receive enquiries from disabled employees asking about their rights at work and, in particular, what reasonable adjustments their employer is obliged to provide. We hope the information on our website is helpful, but nothing is better than discussing your situation with a fully qualified disability discrimination solicitor.
