Visually impaired teacher wins DDA case

A test case under the DDA has been won by a visually impaired teacher.

A visually impaired teacher ran in to difficulties when her employer refused to provide documents for her in Large Print. The documents, for example lesson timetables, where needed for her job, and the situation arose over a period of a few years.

The Disability Rights Commission supported the teacher in fighting her case against her employer, and in 1994 she was awarded compensation of £196,000.

The case also established that the Disability Discrimination Act covers constructive dismissal and that the payment of sick pay is subject to reasonable adjustment. (Source: Disability Now November 07)
