Review law on disability-related dismissals and employment tribunals
Review law on employers disciplining or dismissing staff for disability-related absence. Review if employment tribunals are making reasonable adjustments, the speed of responses, and treatment of harassment cases and evidence examination. Mandate disability training for judges and panel members.
We believe disabled workers are being punished for disability-related absences, some employers are not applying disability trigger points and other parts of the Equality Act 2010 to disabled people, leading to unlawful performance management processes harassment and unfair dismissal. Some self-represented claimants report ignored evidence, no adjustments, and years of delay, which is discriminatory. We feel stronger protections are needed so the law truly safeguards disabled people.
