Hi and welcome on board I am sorry to hear of your dismissal . I have lots of experience of work place adjustments and employment law and so on as I was a HR Manager for 30 years
Is there anything specific you want to ask -

Hello @christien and welcome to the community
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job, what is your career of choice? I'm sure you will still be able to have a successful working life in whatever sector it is
Scope have a long history of campaigning for reasonable adjustments, and it's written in law that an employer should consider them. However, many employers sadly don't make accommodations for their disabled staff members, so there is always a case to campaign for the issue further.
If you are interested in getting back in to work, Scope have a range of employment services that you might be interested in.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
