Claimant v Bishop Challenor School (in voluntary liquidation)

Three specific complaints of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability succeeded: preparation and repetition of comments at the 12 June meeting, suggestion of withdrawing agreed adjustments, and being placed on the support plan. The tribunal found these constituted discrimination arising from disability under s.15 EqA 2010. The remaining complaints under this head failed.

The tribunal found that the respondent had not failed to make reasonable adjustments for the claimant's disability. The complaints under this head were dismissed in their entirety.

Three specific complaints of harassment related to disability succeeded, mirroring the successful discrimination claims: preparation and repetition of comments at the 12 June meeting, suggestion of withdrawing agreed adjustments, and being placed on the support plan. The tribunal found these acts had the purpose or effect of violating the claimant's dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment. The remaining harassment complaints failed.

The tribunal found that the claimant had not been subjected to victimisation contrary to s.27 EqA 2010. The complaint was dismissed in its entirety.
