[QUOTE="Osidge, post: 331935, member: 17302"] With regard to Calmer 1982's post, the DDA has now been subsumed into the Equality Act 2010. In the case of diabetes, whether someone is covered by the Act will depend on the effect on their day-to-day activities of their diabetes [b]if they were not being treated[/b]. That is, the beneficial effect of treatment is ignored when looking at the effects of diabetes. This has the effect of bringing a lot of those with diabetes within the scope of the protection of the Act. Coming within the scope of the Act does not require you to have first been discriminated against. The theory is that the Act will help prevent discrimination and only if it fails to do that will those discriminated against be able to take action at an employment tribunal. I hope that this helps Doug [/QUOTE]
