[QUOTE="cugila, post: 173948, member: 15325"] From what I have found out so far this is the position, however I am no expert although I do hold a CPC in Road Transport Operations which qualifies me to work as a Transport Manager. I would suggest if you need to know exactly what happens consult an Emploment and Discrimination Law Professional. How I read it is that PRE-Emploment questionaires are not allowed now, however it does not appear clear about IN-Emploment questionaires ? The Employer has a duty of care to the Employee therefore it would possibly be reasonable for them to know of any medical conditions of current Employees to meet their obligations under the new DD&E Act 2010. See here: Source: [url=http://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/news/newsletters/employment_update_health_questionnaires]http://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/news/ne ... tionnaires[/url] Under the old DDA 1995 which is incorporated into the new Act this is the 4 reasons quoted about Disability Discrimination in the workplace. The particular section highlighted is the catch all if the Employer does not evaluate the workplace environment and does not know how many people and who they are who could be affected. Please do NOT take this as a definitive answer, it is just my understanding of the Law. [/QUOTE]
