A Co Tyrone man has settled a disability discrimination case against his former employers, the Western Trust, and the HSC Business Services Organisation for £3,000.
"When I was looking to get onto a permanent contract or get a promotion, whenever I tried to apply, the website was inaccessible," Stephen said. "Then we proceeded down the route of disability discrimination on the basis of the accessibility of the site." "It's extremely important for employers to realise, because they may have employees even if they're not open, some of them may have hidden disabilities.
"The Commission itself, the majority of the queries we get from people who believe they have been discriminated against, relates to disability discrimination and in particular to employment.He said that cases like this were useful in that they served as a reminder to others of their obligations when it comes to employment practises.
