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.

  • Thanks.

    Regarding the magnifier - my particular visual impairments mean that no aids fully correct the problem. No matter what and how many aids you give me, I am still going to need help.

    If I have sensory overload, I have to leave now. Not in 2 minutes time. Most people are fine with this. The lcoal support group I attend, we went to a pub for the evening. I warned them before hand that if it gets too noisy, I'll be outside. As it happens, I didn't need this.

    I have contacted NAS and haven't had a response yet. I've been waiting a few weeks for them to reply to me.

    Unfortunately, this is the only college in the city. The closest other college (in another city) is a good hour away by public transport.
