Case Summary

The claimant, employed by Norfolk County Council as an Integrated Care Programme Manager, claimed disability discrimination based on her depression and anxiety, failure to make reasonable adjustments in recruitment processes, victimisation following grievances, and entitlement to redundancy pay. The tribunal found all claims not well-founded and dismissed them, preferring the respondent's evidence and finding no discriminatory treatment.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that the claimant's disability (depression and anxiety) was not the reason for the termination of her Integrated Care Programme Manager contract or the recruitment decisions, as the respondent had legitimate business reasons for these actions. The claimant had not established that she required reasonable adjustments for interview processes, and there was no medical evidence supporting this. The grievances submitted by the claimant were not protected acts relating to discrimination, and therefore the victimisation claim failed.
