Last week, the High Court ruled that the University of Bristol failed to make reasonable adjustments for Natasha Abrahart, a 20-year-old student who had depression and social anxiety.
The court also found that she had been indirectly discriminated against based on her disability.
As Britain’s equality regulator, we intervened in the case to provide neutral and authoritative guidance and assist the Court as it made its judgment.
We urge all further and higher education providers to take note of our technical guidance on the provisions of the Equality Act 2010.
