When will some companies ever learn. Do they not employ any HR specialists who have any knowledge of the law, butt?
"A regional accent is not a protected characteristic, therefore there can be no discrimination claim. However, differences in treatment due to accents based on ethnicity or national origin are discriminatory."
It's a tricky one.
Scouse accent = not discriminatory
Indian accent = discriminatory
What are you quoting?
The lawyer quoted in the article thinks it's definitely discrimination.
What is a 'Welsh' accent or an 'English' accent anyway? There isn't just one. Aren't they just a collection or many many regional accents, so would be discriminatory?
I don't see it as a tricky one at all sorry.
might not have even been just due to her accent

Hmmmmm Labour and the Jewish ? ? ? ? surely not

Am I the only one who thinks there's more than a whiff of horseshit about this story? No HR dept would surely ever send out a letter like that. It would be good if we saw the whole printed letter with letterhead. There are 10 year olds with better grammar than used in that letter.
well this thread has taken a strange turn
good job she never applied for a job in the dvla she still be waiting for an answer
I struggle to believe there isnt more to this story.
