We offer advice to disabled people who have been discriminated against when asking for a service – this covers everything except employment and education law. If you feel you have been discriminated against in your employment, please contact our employment team.
We don't advise service providers, only individuals.
We prefer you to contact our Enquiry Line on 0114 273 1888 in the first instance.
When you contact us, a reception worker will take your contact details and a brief outline of your problem. We will then contact you by phone to get fuller details of the problem. We normally hope to contact you within a couple of days.
If you need to, you can:
Our advice is free. We are able to offer a free service because of the funding we receive from the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The current funding arrangement for our Discrimation advice service runs until March 2009. After this date, we expect the service to continue but there is no guarantee that it will. This may affect the service we can offer to you.
Sheffield Law Centre achieved a record £5,000 damages for disability discrimination in the goods & services field.
