What Is Disability Discrimination?
Disability discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of a disability, whether physical, mental, or emotional. The Equality Act 2010 provides legal protections against disability discrimination in the workplace, covering areas such as:
- Recruitment: Being unfairly excluded from opportunities due to a disability.
- Reasonable Adjustments: Employers failing to accommodate your needs.
- Promotion or Training: Being denied advancement or development opportunities.
- Harassment: Experiencing unwanted behaviour related to your disability.
- Dismissal or Redundancy: Losing your job unfairly because of your condition.
If you’ve faced any of these forms of discrimination, you have rights—and we’re here to protect them.
