In this episode, Jo Boxhall and Alex Harper unpack Section 15 of the Equality Act 2010. They discuss what “discrimination arising from disability” really means, how it differs from direct and indirect discrimination, and how tribunals assess employer knowledge. They also explore key case law and practical steps employers can take to reduce risk and support disabled staff effectively. 


This reflects the law and market position at the date of publication and is written as a general guide. It does not contain legal advice, which should be sought in relation to a specific matter.
