Was my daughter not paid because she is autistic?

NAS85454

We have been asking a large organisation for my daughter’s pay since March 2022.

They did not respond to any form of communication. So we took them to small claims court. They did not respond and are now due to go  county court in June. 
Can they also be taken to court for discrimination? If so does anyone how I go about this? I can’t help but wonder if we would be having this battle if she was not autistic.

  • I don’t know but being autistic can make you more vulnerable to exploitation. I ended up working 6 months unpaid ... I am not saying someone else would not have ended up in similar situation (in fact I was not the only person this happened to there) but I tend to trust people and am not good at reading their intentions. This makes me more vulnerable. 
    I don’t know about the legal system so I can’t really answer any of your questions. I hope you get the justice you deserve. Was it just your daughter that wasn’t paid? Or others too?
