By Gráinne Nolan

Workplace decision ·

An Equality Officer found that Mr B had not established discrimination on family status grounds in a complaint against Work Start, West Cork Ltd, trading as Employability West Cork. The decision was dated 1 December 2016. Mr B said restrictions on monitoring arrangements affected his ability to advocate for his daughter. The company denied excluding him and said its referral process had not been used. The officer found no evidence that Mr B was purposefully excluded on family grounds. She said the company had invited him to accompany his daughter if she was referred for service.
