which makes the DDA in so far as employment goes and complete waste of paper and effort. it's virtually impossible to prove you would not have got a job with a disability. my arguement is i was being considered for a specific role, until the lady found out i had a disability. she then rejected me based on my disability, that to me is still discrimination. now if the DDA doesn't cover that area already, then i'm gonna do all i can to publicise the fact and take it as far as i can to get it included at a future date. if that means going alone, then so be it. it'll be worth it in the end. plus i can publicise the fact that the organisations who are so public about their support for disabled people, couldn't be bothered to help when it involved them having to put in any effort. ... "we don't advise on employment law" ... give me a break!!! kevin (lord L) "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." - will durant skype: lordandladyl email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Hornby" <derek.hornby_uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 8:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: help needed on the DDA Peter said >Contact Action for Blind People; they are very good and most helpful; And exactly what can they do if the law has *not* even been broken? To win a claim for disability discrimination one would have to show proof, that one would have been offered the job if not disabled.
