[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 201208, member: 17199"] Hi all, I'm unfortunately being made redundant at the end of November, I currently work on a contract alongside the job centre which trains and helps long term unemployed find work :) The contract ran for 5 years but was extended a little longer, after this came FND (flexible new deal) and that is being replaced by 'the work programme' which some of you may have heard of which is currently going live up and down the UK. Soooo i have a few questions in regards to finding new work.. 1. Am i legally tied to tell prospect employers i have diabetes? 2. If i'm not legally tied to, should i volunteer this information? (in an application form, if i came to an interview i would make sure they were aware from this point, hopefully at the end when i've hopefully managed to sell myself :lol: ) 3. What are people's views on the chance i may be likely rejected due to employers maybe not understanding diabetes and ruling me out because of it? I'm quite worried that i may struggle due to my good friend diabetes. I understand it's against the law that i cannot be discriminated due to my diabetes, but i also know that this discrimination can be disguised into something else (deliberatly finding a reason not to employ me). The job i am in now i've been in for almost 4 years, i was in this job when i was diagnosed with diabetes so have never really applied for any jobs whilst i've had diabetes. any advice/opinions welcome :) spanks!
