How we can help you
We are highly experienced in bringing the various disability discrimination cases we take on to a successful conclusion. We aim to provide comprehensive guidance at every step, offering the helping hand to lead you through the process to the outcome you desire.
What is Disability Discrimination
Understanding Your Legal Rights
Disability discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly because of a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long term effect on their ability to carry out normal day to day activities.
This can take several forms. Direct discrimination involves less favourable treatment because of a disability. Indirect discrimination may arise where a workplace policy places disabled individuals at a disadvantage.
There is also a legal duty on employers to make reasonable adjustments. This means taking steps to remove or reduce disadvantages faced by disabled employees. A failure to do so can itself amount to discrimination.
Disability related harassment and victimisation are also prohibited under employment law.
Advice for Employees
Protecting Your Rights at Work
If you believe you have been treated unfairly due to a disability, it is important to seek advice as soon as possible. These cases often require a careful assessment of both medical and workplace factors.
We advise employees on whether their condition meets the legal definition of a disability and how the law applies to their circumstances. We also assist with raising concerns internally, including grievances and requests for reasonable adjustments.
Where issues cannot be resolved within the workplace, we provide support in pursuing claims. This may include negotiation or representation in Employment Tribunal proceedings.
Our approach is supportive and practical, helping you understand your options and take informed steps.
Support for Employers
Meeting Legal Duties and Managing Risk
Employers must take active steps to prevent disability discrimination and comply with their duty to make reasonable adjustments. We advise businesses on how to meet these obligations in a fair and consistent way.
Our services include reviewing workplace policies, advising on adjustments and supporting managers in handling sensitive situations. We also assist with responding to complaints and conducting investigations where required.
Taking a proactive approach helps reduce legal risk and promotes a more inclusive working environment.
Resolving Disability Discrimination Disputes
Practical and Effective Solutions
Disputes involving disability discrimination can be complex and often involve detailed evidence. We focus on resolving matters efficiently while protecting our clients’ interests.
This may involve negotiation, mediation or tribunal proceedings where necessary. Each case is handled with care and attention to detail.
