It's more an issue of whether it is reasonably practicable for an employer
to accommodate any adjustments/special arrangements. It's important to make
a thorough assessment of whether the DDA applies.
In my experience, on a handful of applicants were rejected for employment by
the OHS from many thousands at the council where I worked, but unless the
DDA applied, some adjustments were considered to be impractical for the
employer to implement.
It was an HR/management decision most of the time. As has been said before
on this list - we advise, management decides!
