"A creche which decided it was "not prepared to take responsibility" for a two-year-old girl after she was diagnosed with a severe nut allergy has been ordered to pay her €3,000 in compensation for disability discrimination."
"The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has directed the unidentified childcare facility to pay the sum on foot of a complaint under the Equal Status Act 2000 in an anonymised decision published today (WEDS)."
A creche refused to accept responsibility for a two-year-old girl after she was diagnosed with a severe nut allergy. The creche explicitly stated it was "not prepared to take responsibility." The Workplace Relations Commission ordered the childcare facility to pay €3,000 in compensation for disability discrimination. The compensation followed a complaint brought under the Equal Status Act 2000. The WRC issued an anonymised decision and did not identify the childcare facility in the published ruling.
