Is your business fully aware of disability discrimination and how best to handle any workplace issues?
Disability discrimination claims make up a quarter of all those conciliated with ACAS, a 30% increase between 2022/23 and 2023/24. This comes against the backdrop of an escalated recognition that mental ill health and neurodivergence can, and do, amount to disabilities, in parallel with what some experts are calling a ‘mental health epidemic’.
Employers must be vigilant with their policies and practices to ensure they remain up to date with employees’ developing understanding of their rights at a time when mental ill health is at an all-time global high.
