Long term sickness and disability discrimination

According to the Office for National Statistics, between 2019 and 2022, the percentage of people who reported a long-lasting health condition that limits either the kind or amount of work they can do rose from 16.4% to 18.1%. In this episode, Sam Greenhalgh and Jonathan Shevlane look at the common pitfalls employers fall into when managing the highly complicated problem posed by long term ill health, and look at how compassionate approaches can help to avoid disability discrimination claims.
