Employment rights
It is against the law for employers to discriminate against you due to a disability - The Equality Act 2010 protects you from this and also states that an employer has a duty to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to avoid you being put at a disadvantage in the workplace compared to non-disabled people.
You can find out more about what the Equality Act says employers must do under this duty on the Citizens Advice website.
Read GOV.UK guidance about employing disabled people and people with health conditions.
