@ScotGovJustice @scotgov My firm got nothing from your #legalaid resilience fund! Why did you not undertake an #equalities impact assessment? You broke the law.

We’ve written to @BootsUK about their instore and window signs which #discriminate against people with #disabilities who are exempt from wearing #facemasks #facecoverings. This is encouraging #harassment and that #disabled people are branded #unsafe

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

@ScotRail why did you stop our Principal Solicitor leaving #Glasgow #queenstreet telling him to put on #facemask? There are exemptions. He was leaving not entering the station! #disability #discrimination #equality #harassment #facemasks #facecoverings

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

People with #disabilities should not face #harassment because they have an exemption from wearing compulsory #facemasks the story is covered in today’s @Daily_Record https://t.co/3GD0QDvDJl #discrimination #equality #facecoverings

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

Our Principal #solicitor was refused entry to @Cex because he couldn’t wear #facemask. Explained #legal #exemptions to compulsory #facemasks #facecoverings and #disability #discrimination but they demanded medical evidence.

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

We’ve asked @EHRC @EHRCScotland to take enforcement action against @TKMaxx_UK for excluding people with #disabilities who cannot wear #facemasks there are #disability exemptions which #tkmaxx refuses to accept. #facemasksuk not compulsory for some #disabled people #EqualityAct

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

@BanuLIC @cattybojanglez @SasminLeBon @TKMaxx_UK Thank you for raising #mentalhealth #anxiety and reminding people about exemptions from compulsory #facemasks it is important not to #discriminate against #disabled people who cannot wear a mask

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

Our Principal Solicitor was refused entry to @TKMaxx_UK today. He took his #facemask off because of #anxiety . There are #exemptions for some #disabled people. Refusing entry is #disability #discrimination #facemasks #equalityact #COVID19 #coronavirus

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

@richardwjones @Samuel30634689 @5Mumsie @okkaidy @Joeybird @TKMaxx_UK There is a lot of #hatecrime targeted at #disabled people online for asserting themselves. We’re monitoring this and have a meeting with @policescotland to discuss. #disability #equality #facemasks

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

EMERGENCY VIDEO: @H_S_E @BBCBreaking @ScottishTUC @TSScot @scotgovhealth @CTSI_UK @The_TUC these disposable #facemasks are #HealthAndSafety risk. Plastic wire over the nose can pierce the fabric and stab your eye!

[Legal Spark @LegalsparkSE]

@JohnGri57134320 @TKMaxx_UK Yes, refusal of #cash payments are another aspect of #lockdown some people on #welfare #benefits are excluded from #basicbankaccounts and do not have #debitcards. #discrimination #humanrights
