<p>The Government is fully committed to the Equality Act 2010, which prohibits employers
from discriminating against their disabled employees and job applicants with a disability.
Employers are also required to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees
so that they can work on a similar basis to employees that do not have a disability.
Where an employee or potential employee believes that they have experienced disability
discrimination, they can make a claim to an employment tribunal within six months
of the alleged discrimination taking place.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government

2010 only applies to England Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland has its own disability
discrimination legislation - Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (as amended).</p><p>
