It sounds as though she is being singled-out for discrimination @lanie .

Believe it or not, the public sector is just as likely to do that as the private sector is.

If she is being treated badly then she is better off being shot of the place. Staying will just demoralise her.

Be on the lookout for something else.

Hi Lanie
Its so unfair how your daughter has been treat, however people say they do not discriminate but I know they do. I have epilepsy and I have tried getting a job but cant. You can get better support where employers do not discriminate against your illness/disability. Remploy and business disability employment agencies can help your daughter. As well many local councils are happy to employ people who are disabled or ill. You can also get grants to help assist you getting back to work. Some will pay your taxi fares its called access to work. I think it would benefit your daughter if she got some advise on this and theres always the job centre. Tell your daughter that she is worth more than the job she was doing and I hope she gets something soon. Good Luck

Hi Lanie
I forgot to say the reason why I am not working now is because of my epilepsy and the dr says I am unfit.
