Equal Opportunities

The intention of the legislation is to grant those with disabilities both fair treatment and the right to equal employment opportunities. Under the rules disabled people have statutory protection from unfair treatment because they suffer from a mental or physical impairment. The definition within the act covers a wide range of conditions which may have permanent or long term effects. The statute includes a requirement for employers to make reasonable structural changes to business premises to accommodate the needs of the disabled.

Employment Tribunal

Employers can violate the legal requirements if they treat disabled employees differently to other employees or if they fail to make reasonable accommodation for the needs of those with physical or mental disabilities. Our disability discrimination compensation claim solicitors are more than willing to consider an application to the Employment Tribunal on a no win no fee basis.
