She was forced to take early retirement
A woman with arthritis who worked in children's homes has been awarded £184,542 after she was discriminated against and lost her job.
Then, due to her continuing to be unable to carry out physical restraints or sleep over at the home, in September 2020 Mr Simpson held a meeting with Ms Leigh who said she was led to believe she would no longer be able to work in residential care. After she left the council Ms Leigh launched an employment tribunal claim for disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments. The employment tribunal handed down its decision, in Ms Leigh's favour, in December 2023 and this month awarded her £184,542 for the acts of disability discrimination.
