Suing due to disability discrimination

stranger

Does anyone know how I'd go about this please? I know there's criteria, such as time limit, etc. which I'm well within.

In my case, (it has been mentioned on here before) I can't attend a college because they've denied me reasonable adjustments which have been recommended by 2 unis (and were followed by said unis) and a previous college followed the same recommendations.

They tried to justify their refusal by:

- deciding I don't have Autism (it's in writing that I have it)

- telling me I don't need those recommendations as recommended by 2 qualified disabled students allowance (DSA) providers

- telling me that I have equipment I can use which solves the issue. They don't solve the issue.

- telling me that people with severe physical disabilities don't get help (how is that legal?)

They claimed it was all down to money - that's their justification.

This has meant I'm going to have try and find somewhere much further away to continue my education, for which there really is nothing.

  • you would think logically there would a risk assessment and care plan carried out by the uni/college and the student,, because if you think about it,,, without this the educational establishment could be putting the general public at risk,... ie if stranger has an autistic meltdown in the educational environment as he can't take it and due to stress throws a lecturer or a member of the public down a stairwell by accident trying to escape the environment...

    So I would recommend stranger, just goes back to the college,, freak out because you can't deal with environment and let them mop up the after affects, it is the only way they will listen is by your disruption factor at no fault of your own.

    They took you on the course, they have a duty of care as well as you to declare your autism,, which you have,, it is them that has too do right by you.... !!!
