A deaf woman has won compensation after the Government failed to provide sign language interpreters for two of the covid briefings, leading her to feel frustrated and discriminated against.
The Government had tried to defend itself by arguing that subtitles were available for deaf people. Such a disappointing stereotypical attitude is a further discriminatory act in itself.
Organisations are required to make 'reasonable adjustments' for disabled people under the Equality Act.
Good for her I say, discrimination based upon disability is all too often treated less seriously than it is for other disadvantaged minority groups.
