Workplace discrimination

ALM

Hi there 

I wasn't sure what to do, so I thought I would have a go. 

Recently I had to leave my job due to the daily discrimination I encountered in the workplace. It was a really tough decision, but I was drowning and barely surviving. 

I had done all the right stuff, letting them know I am neurodivergent and need reasonable adjustments. These adjustments took over 6 months to implement and then if was very low effort. 

Now I am in early conciliation as I believe I was discriminated at work. 

Anyone else have experience with this? Or any advice? Or solicitors that they used that helped? 

Thanks

  • I recently took my employer to tribunal but they settled with me outside of court, so never got to the first hearing. 
    Most employers will try and settle outside of court as it’s cheaper than them paying for their own solicitor costs, but obviously they could go through with the tribunal so be prepared to go through with it too! 
    Valla helped me a lot… and learning about the tribunal process and tactics I could use as well as the employer would use. You could send your employer solicitors a Without Prejudice letter, to say you are willing to settle your claim for £X… (I would suggest using Valla’s case assessment service to get an idea on what your claim could be worth). Or if you fancied getting justice, go through with the tribunal hearings… just make sure you have your evidence. I must warn you, tribunal hearings are taking about 4+ years… mine was scheduled for 2029!
