The battle is over now the war starts (employment tribunal)

Mr T

My ET1 for tribunal for disability discrimination has been filed. Looks like I'm in for an arduous process but I MUST stand up for my rights as an autist. At my age (middle fifties) I am not going to take all the crap that has come my way since officially becoming disabled under the eyes of the law.

I am under no elusion that this will be hard to get through but I have come so far and been treated so badly that my sense of justice won't let me quit.

I will probably need this community to support me in the dark days ahead with wise and some not so wise comments. I am still officially employed and will stay so as my lawyer has advised that constructive dismissal is a difficult one to prove. However, I have a feeling I will be dismissed in the coming weeks or months. I am waiting on a DSAR from my employers but this has been pushed back to August because it is complex. I did receive my occupational health DSAR and make some interesting reading about my managers' opinions and communications regarding me and my health and disabilities. It may not be the smoking gun but there definitely is a strong whiff in the air.

Now the waiting starts.

to be continued......

  • I will be following your journey for sure, please keep us posted. I’ve recently notified ACAS about my claims and waiting for conciliation. I have issues around failure to make reasonable adjustments, direct and indirect discrimination, and harassment. Like you, I will need to see this through and stick up for my rights. 

    Employers get away too often breaking the equality act, and most people don’t have the energy to stand up for their rights, which is understandable as the whole process of grievances etc is very distressing and tiring. I was happy to see you’re seeing it through and sticking up for what you believe in. 

    I wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing updates with your progress
