I am trying to find a solicitor would will help me take legal claims of discrimination against businesses in the UK.


I get refused, judged and abused because i have ASD and have a service dog. Thing is the service dog does not need to be registered to a charity, nor do i need to be blind or deaf, my dog does not need to be a labrador either.



I also want help from people who can video these events that happen all the time and make it a thing on social media.

    Hello @DaxPup and welcome to the community, and thanks for reaching out with your query. I'm not sure how best to advise you fully, but hopefully our members will share their thoughts soon.

    To help our members find your post, I've changed the title slightly, moved it into our 'disability rights and campaigning' category, and marked it as unanswered.

    I'm sorry to hear about the barriers you've been facing when trying to access businesses, I know it's immensely frustrating, so seeking some advice might be a good step to take. If you haven't already done so I'd encourage searching on AdviceLocal.

    If anything else comes up, please don't hesitate to ask for help.

    Alex

    Hi and welcome to the community


    You would need a specific occurrence of disability discrimination in order to take legal action

    Acas is an advisory service that supports individuals with employment issues you may want to take a look at their website


    If you have a case against an employer you can apply to tribunal but getting a solicitor to take on your case will cost as there is no legal aid available


    If you are struggling to find work scope have a support to work programme you may find useful have a look in the employment section

    Hi @DaxPup - & welcome to the community. I wonder if EASS (Equality Advisory & Support Service) may be able to advise. Here's a link: https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/app/home

    I wasn't saying you couldn't take action more that there needs to be a specific reason like you quoted eg refusing entry to restaurant 

    The op didn't really give any examples to determine what had happened 

    I think I got the wrong impression and didnt read the post right as I took it they were referring to employment issues 

    I apologise

    @Username_removed thanks but your comment did make me read back and I could see I was off topic and wasn't employment related 

    Prob had my head in the clouds at the time
