[QUOTE="Penquin47210, post: 1413418, member: 387598"] Have a talk via the phone with the Equal Opportunities people - if you have diabetes then your employer is legally required to make "reasonable adjustments" if they don't they can be compelled to do so. My Headmaster (I had been there 34 years) decided that I was not pulling my weight as I had an aircast on and restricted walking (possible Charcots which turned out to be plantar fascieitis). He stupidly put in writing that I was a burden to my colleagues and referred me to Occupational Health.... I also talked to Equal Opportunities. BOTH the OH and the EO said the same thing (as did my consultant diabetologist) that by putting it in writing he was in breach of the law and if he had not sorted it TO MY SATISFACTION by the start of the next term (this was already late June) then he would find a Court Summons on his desk, he received three letters within 72 hours pointing out his errors and he retracted everything within the next 48 hours and from then on bent over backwards. The Equal Opportunities do NOT need 2 years service - you can use them BEFORE you even are accepted. DO NOT RESIGN whatever happens. You are within your legal rights - they are there for a purpose, use them.
