Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust

Case Summary

The claim was dismissed as the Respondent did not fail in its duty to make reasonable adjustments, harass or victimise the Claimant. The claim for discriminatory constructive dismissal was also dismissed.

The tribunal found that the respondent did not breach its duty to make reasonable adjustments, did not harass or victimise the claimant, and did not constructively dismiss the claimant on discriminatory grounds. The claims were therefore rejected on their merits following a full hearing.

• •Reasonable Adjustments
