A type 1 friend of mine is looking for a new job and has found one of interest, The online application form includes the following
The Equal Opportunities Act 2010 defines a disability as “A physical or mental impairment which has a substantial long term and adverse effect on a persons’ ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities” and then you have to select an option from the dropdown list - Mental, None, Physical, Physical and Mental.
We are both aware that diabetes falls within the Equality Act but could not decide whether she should select None or Physical since her condition is fairly well controlled, the odd hypo but no hospital admissions. It is an office job.
I guessed this discussion must have been had before and searched the forum for thoughts but still came away unsure as to how she should answer.
What do you think?
