Disability Discrimination at Work

Managing risk while supporting your people.

Disability discrimination at work is one of the most complex - and evolving - areas of employment law. From employees with known neurodivergent conditions to newly recognised health conditions, employers are facing increasingly nuanced challenges.

Mistakes can be costly. A missed adjustment, an inconsistent absence review or a poorly handled conversation can all lead to discrimination claims - even when employers are acting in good faith.

In this free 60-minute webinar, designed for HR professionals, managers and business leaders, employment lawyers at Thomas Mansfield Solicitors explain your legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010. We’ll highlight common risk areas and share practical, legally sound steps to help you address disability discrimination at work, support disabled employees and protect your business.
