Please can someone help my friend.
She is a counsellor, who works with another counsellor
My friend has been told that she has got to allow her colleague who has hep C to practice acupunture on her. She has been told that if she doesn't allow him to do this, she will be in breach of the anti-discrimination Act.
Which will result in her being referred to the HR departmert and disciplined.
Does she have any rights to refuse? because her manager is under the impression there is no risk involved. However, this person who is in training to be an acupunturist has never practised on another person before.
She would prefer to have the acupunture from a non- infected person and she would like someone to refer her to a relevant employment act, for her to quote if she needs to defend her decision with HR.
