Discrimination against people in the UK who stammer (or stutter) - homepage
Description
Generally about the website
This website looks mainly at the position of stammering under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and certain related issues. Stammering is the same as stuttering. My name is Allan Tyrer and I am a solicitor (no longer practising, out of choice). I have a stammer. Click here for more about me and my partner.
The website is written mainly from the point of view of the person who stammers (or his adviser) looking into his rights under the DDA, but employers and service providers dealing with people who stammer will find it useful as well. The guidelines for service providers are specifically focussed at businesses and others such as local authorities providing goods and services to the public.
I am not unbiased on many of the issues raised. Ultimately issues will have to be decided by the courts. I have sometimes tended to suggest how one can argue for an interpretation in favour of the person with the stammer so far as reasonable, but I have kept within what I think can be justified legally and have indicated when I do not think something is clear in law.
