Description
Hi there This week we look at the often hidden issue of disability discrimination in the workplace, with a particular look at mental health concerns and reasonable adjustments. We also look at the five complaint areas you can use to organise your experiences of discrimination at work.  Our takeaways for this week’s episode are, that understanding your rights and being able to recognize disability discrimination is crucial for you if you have a disability. Once you recognise how disability discrimination may be practiced in your workplace and you then understand how to name it and organise your thoughts into a complaint, you will then be able to make decisions about how you wish to tackle it to make it stop! Remember, you're not alone, and support is available to help you navigate these challenges.
