[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1419721, member: 374531"] Hi, it's no longer the DDA. It's now the Equality Act 2010. It applies to T1s at work and requires employers to make reasonable adjustments. Seeing as regular injections are a thing you need to do to stay alive, I'm certain that your employer would be required by the Act to provide a hygenic and private environment as a reasonable adjustment. I think they would be laughed out of court if they told a judge, nah, we're not going to do anything, she can just go to the toilet. If you can't get it sorted by talking to your HR department, there's an Equality and Human Rights Commission which was set up by the Equality Act 2006 to basically promote equality, and it has a related body, the Equality Advisory & Support Service, which has an advice line, 0808 800 0082. I'm sure they've probably had situations like this before.Links below: [URL]https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/equality-act/equality-act-2010[/URL] [URL]https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
