Yasmin Omar v. Brampton Manor Trust: Employment Tribunal Case
In May 2021, anEmployment Tribunal ruled in favor of Yasmin Omar, a newly qualified science teacher at the Brampton , finding that the school haddiscriminated against her due to her disability. Ms. Omar had been diagnosed withmultiple sclerosis (MS) shortly before commencing her role at the academy in September 2018.
