[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1157541, member: 32394"] Hi [USER=267537]@StevieT666[/USER] You might find this diabetes uk information pack on your rights at work helpful - [URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/upload/How%20we%20help/Avocacy/Advocacy%20pack_EmploymentV3-Jan2016.pdf']https://www.diabetes.org.uk/upload/How we help/Avocacy/Advocacy pack_EmploymentV3-Jan2016.pdf[/URL] What sort of field do you work in? Do you have a union you could ask for for support? You should try and find your work policy on competency management so that you can be informed and know what you might be having to deal with. If they are saying there are problems with your ability, they are going to have explain what these problems are and work with you to try and improve them - most firms will have some sort of competency framework and a timeframe to work towards achieving that before they can "get rid of you". While it's true that they can't fire you for being diabetic if they articulate that, it's not inconceivable that they might be masking concerns about your diabetes with concerns about your ability. If you really think that might be the case do look into support from your Union, support from diabetes uk, whether your home insurance covers any access to legal representation for employment advice, advice from CAB. Or prove them wrong - show them that having diabetes isn't having any impact on your ability to do your job. It's a **** position to be in, but that might in reality be the best route. [/QUOTE]
