  • Removed from project due to disability

    Hi,
    I've been working on a project team for the past 8 months. It has been acknowledged by those in charge that I have contributed a significant amount to the project, including doing work in my own time without request from the management. Those on the team who know the situation are extremely shocked and annoyed that I will not be making the move. Others believe it is completely unfair given my contribution and subject knowledge.
    This project is now moving to another floor in the building. Due to disability I cannot evacuate from higher than the 3rd floor, they are moving to the 7th.
    I have been told I will not be part of the project from 31 May. I have been given just over 2 weeks notice of this.
    When I asked if it would be possible to remain on the current floor and stay as part of the project team I was told NO.
    They are relocating me back into a business as usual (BAU) team on the 2nd floor.
    I believe they have taken no consideration into reasonable adjustments to have me remain on the team.
    Does the fact they are relocating me onto a BAU team mean they have satisfied their obligations under the EA2010 to make reasonable adjustments?
    I apologise but if possible I need an answer asap as the timescale for change is short. Any other advice is much appreciated
    Many thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a case of Eq.Act 2010 Section 15 "Discrimination arising from disability". This would carry more weight if there are no reasonable reason why they can't remain on 3rd floor. Is it a direct consequence that they are moving to 7th floor the reason you cannot participate further to the project? If so, this unfavourable treatment arises as a consequence of your disability, therefore S.15 Eq. Act2010. I think this would be the case regardless that they are moving onto different team.
