"Employment Judge Edmund Beever acknowledged the 'unusual' fact that Ms Vale had her own headphones but did not raise it. However, he said that this did not 'undermine her case' as 'the duty to make reasonable adjustments is on the employer not the employee.'"
"Ms Vale possessed noise-cancelling headphones at home but did not use them for work or inform her new line manager about them. She eventually stopped pursuing the request for the force to supply them."
A police worker with ADHD successfully sued her employer for disability discrimination after they did not provide her with noise-cancelling headphones. Despite owning a pair, she did not use them at work or inform her manager. She later claimed that the employer had a duty to accommodate her request for reasonable adjustments. The employment tribunal ruled in her favor, emphasizing that the responsibility for making reasonable adjustments lies with the employer, not the employee. Ms Vale is set to receive compensation for her case.
