Dsd discriminated against?

[Stinkypete45]

In simple, is it discrimination to treat someone differently during a recruitment process because they have a mild learning difficulty? It's complicated, but I think the manager in question may have given dsd a completely different interview process for an internal position because of her mild learning difficulties :( I can't go into much more detail currently but that's the long and short of it. She's very upset and is threatening to leave work altogether, as in have no job at all currently...

It depends.

Could a different type of interview have been a reasonable adjustment? The purpose of this would have been to support DD, not to put her at a disadvantage.

As pp said, there are certain adjustments that may be made e.g. skipping a written test for people with dyslexia and going straight to an interview phase. Could it be that?

What PP have said regarding reasonable adjustments.

What would definitely constitute discrimination OTOH is putting someone through an alibi-type evaluation while already knowing that they wouldn't be selected in order to be able to claim after the fact that the application was considered but unsuccessful.

Without knowing more details I don’t think you’ll get more than a “maybe, maybe not” here.
