Denied reasonable adjustments
Hi everyone,
Hope you’re all well.
I’ve been having a lot of issues with my employer. They know I have MS, but have refused to make any adjustments for me. I’m a school teacher and asked to be taken off duty at lunch time, but they’ve made me feel like I’m the really unreasonable and uncompromising one via very long emails.
Unsure what to do. Would appreciate any advice as I am on the brink of resignation. I’m new to teaching. I don’t find teaching difficult at all, but the extra duties and requirements are difficult for me and my school are refusing to budge.
Thanks,
Fraction.
@fraction. You shouldn't be having these problems. Are you in a Union? Get them involved if you are. The fact that you are fairly new to the job shouldn't make any difference. Please don't resign. It's a joint problem, you have cost a lot of money to train, you are a valuable person who deserves all the help you can get. Keep fighting, we're all on your side and so will others at school and in the Union. Please don't give up or give in, you are too valuable to loose because some ....hole is 'following the rules'😍
@fraction , yes, do not resign and also consult your Union. Your employer is potentially breaking the law by not following the guidance outlined in the Equality Act 2010. You might want to have a read :- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/equality-act-2010-guidance
