Openly Discriminates. - Team Sports Associate Prostate Cancer UK Employee Review

Some real flaws deeply imbedded in the management - I’d taken this role with real hope and belief that I would be supported and given time to progress. I’ve got dyslexia and made this clear at the interview stage. Basically it seemed like it was mostly lip service as when we hit a few bumps in the road with regards to my learning, be fore I knew it I was in danger of losing the position! Despite me articulating this at the very start. My line manager was very inexperienced along with poor people skills. I was given another line manager as she was making the situation very stressful for me and was clearly out of her depth. It then became clear they were trying to push me out of the door, they went though all the motions and ticked all the boxes so they couldn’t be hit with a constructive dismissal claim. After bringing in additional support of whom pointed out they felt the charity were being unreasonable and felt this was boarding on disability discrimination. Even had my train times checked by my line manager due to a delay I had communicated, as he didn’t believe or have faith in me. This was the case as they started to ramp up the pressure and the unrealistic expectations. I was even at this point was getting counselling due to the stress and anxiety of the situation PCUK had put me through. Even to the point where I signed myself off sick. Even then they were guilt tripping me and suggesting my metal health issues were having a detrimental effect on the charity as I couldn’t perform my role. I did put in a grievance out and called discrimination but they had there own people review this and it was clear they were only Interested in protecting themselves due to the bias and own panel of investigators. If someone was in a wheelchair you would expect them to walk up a flight of stairs? Would you? Try walking a mile in the shoes of the person with a hidden disability who is battling a condition on a daily basis. PCUK didn’t want to be inclusive enough but we’re prepared to go through the motions and tick the right boxes in order for them to not be legally challenged. A lot of misconceptions with regards to this. This is them - I needed help and they didn’t want to support me. I would avoid this charity at all costs.
