Mrs. M Myers v London Early Years Foundation 

Without prejudice, with #reference to Employment Appeal Tribunal LondonEAT@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk requested dates to avoid for a period of 4 months from February 2018. I have been #advised to put in writing to the EAT www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment-appeals/ about my #disabilities. I am also #carer for my elderly husband which can impact on this matter as well.

Therefore I will list my disabilities as the following:
Mental and Physical Disabilities that are “Protected Characteristics” under the Equality Act 2010.

They are covered under:
1. Race Relations 1976 (Amendment) Act 2000. 2. Education Reform Act 1988. 3. Employment Equality Regulations. 4. Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001. 5. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 & 2005. 6. Safeguarding Vulnerable Group Act 2006.

Updates: Suffice it to say that Senior HR Dilys Epton www.leyf.org.uk did not know that by sending me on Medical Suspension and to Occupational Health was covered by Employment Laws.  LEYF, therefore, failed on many accounts breaching the Contract I signed on the 7th October 2009. The www.healthmanltd.com offered them advice, but in their ignorance were unable to accept. Because the Panel lied at the Appeal Hearing, they did not receive the Medical Report from Dr. Crawford. Adjourn the Hearing to read my MR and come back with their cuckold outcome.

Mental Health Conditions and Diseases & Special Educational Needs and Disabilities:
Childhood #traumas – www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwarkwww.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark result of transitional #developments. Living with my father’s Parkinson’s disease https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/get-involved/events.  And my grandma’s #diabetes and www.diabetes.org.uk death from a broken heart. Her son was brutally #murdered.

Chronic Anxiety – linked to the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: #tremors, shakes, slurred speech, immobility/stiffened joints, #emotional. Chronic Anxiety diagnosis in July 2006.  Updates: The fact that I have a diagnosis and was a participant in www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers should have been enough for http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding to take my concerns seriously about the breaches by the Respondent.

Atypical Parkinsonism – signs, and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, with the Mental Health and Physical conditions, linked. Hard to treat and diagnose.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD). Always trying to be in control. I managed to work and carry out #normal day to day activities, despite developing the condition from #puberty. That is until my childhood traumas were #triggered into PTSD from the 23rd July 2014 to 27th September 2015.

Paranoia developed as result of the ill-treatment from the 23rd July 2014 to the 27th September 2015 when I was #forced to resign with Nervous Breakdown.

Depression, leaving me unable to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Updates: The www.voicetheunion.org.uk Rep commented about the way my concerns were handled. He disappeared after the Disciplinary Hearing. I was passed #fit to go back to work after the Medical Suspension. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy recommended by Dr. Laura Crawford. Recommendations made for Reasonable Adjustments.

Hidden Disabilities results from childhood traumas.
Dyslexia.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD).
Had #counselling at the Maudsley Hospital Maudsley Hospital after Dr. Laura Crawford from the Occupational Health Medical Suspension advised me to get Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to find out why I #react the way I do to certain situations. Medical Reports was Judges Case Management Order in the Bundles. Updates: So why the hell didn’t www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment-appeals/ and LondonEAT@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk take any of the bundles and correspondences into consideration? Smacks of someone bribing the Employment Tribunal corrupt Legal Entity. 

Physical Disabilities:
Back Pains – results of #injuries from a fall when I was #pregnant with first child. Reoccurring problems from I arrived in the UK. Hence the reason I accepted the job with the condition that I do not work with #younger children/babies. Information in the Bundles.

Sciatica & Cramps – Now getting #physio to strengthen back and leg muscles.
Arthritis – Diagnosed 2010. The information contained in the Bundles.
Diabetes – www.desmond-project.org.uk. The information contained in the Bundles.

The Equality Act 2010 states that a person has a disability if she has a physical or mental impairment, which has a #substantial and long-term #adverse effect on her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. I worked with LEYF prior to transferring to BIB, HOC and New Cross with a Contingency Plan at Luton Street. All the #sensitive and confidential Data www.ico.org.uk about how I manage and control my disabilities are contained in my FILE. LEYF refused to give me access from before I transferred from Luton Street.

The Equality Act 2010 states that there is no need for me to #establish a medically diagnosed cause for the #impairment. What is important to consider is the effect of the impairment. The Judges Court Management Orders ask me to present Medical Reports and they were provided. Updates: I have been taking part in research and these can be found on the internet. Just type in my name Mervelee Myers. So for the Employment Tribunal to make me a victim at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-230047-2016 is akin to genocide and hate crime.

Role of Carer
I would like the EAT to take into considerations that these days, any one of my disabilities can #flare up without any notice. There are days when I am unable to get out of bed. I am also carer for my elderly husband which can have bearings on this as well.

Feeling Pressurised
I would like to bring to the EAT attention about the fact that I am being #pressurised and this impacts on my disabilities and how I am able to carry out normal day to day activities. As can be ascertained from Dr. Laura Crawford’s Medical Report, I have to prepare everything in advance. However, I think I am been #penalised for taking all the measures and applying early intervention strategies to be in #compliance with the EAT orders.

Updates: I have been in contact with the ET about www.personnelconsultancy.com unprofessionalism from the time we meet at the ET on the 15/3/2016. I was told at the CAB that the papers must be returned to the EAT before the 5th January 2018. But what did the EAT do, send another letter to be returned to them by the 5th January 2018? However, I did not receive the letter until after the date it was to be returned.

I will, therefore, have to continue with my Defensive Practice along with my publishing about my  Fight4justice Fight4justice campaign to help me hopefully get this matter dealt with. I need to move on with my life. I have not even #grieve for my mother yet. Another thing, I have been made a target and a sitting duck for everyone to take advantage of because of my #vulnerability of having disabilities. So whilst I was set up to be robbed blind. Winsome Duncan: Author, Artist & Book Confidence Coach was the one who called the Metropolitan Police and Ambulance Services to section me under the Mental Health Act. Maybe the EAT might like to deal with the fact about the reasons for that?

Bureaucratic Red Tape and Rhetoric.
Finally, I will end by saying LEYF have done everything to strip me of my #dignity after I spend the best years of my life giving of my best. Now they set out to destroy me, without any hope of picking myself up when I was treated in a similar fashion in another workplace. I am part of Dr. Maria Hudson Research Paper recommended to Acas www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers.

Barrister Jones www.7br.co.uk was given the benefit of the doubt when she pulled a SICKIE because she admitted to the judges she did not prepare a case. The case was adjourned when she did not turn up the next day. The judges did not consult with me when setting the date. And I could go on and on, but I stop here for now.

Although Provision, Criterion or Practice is not defined by the Act, it should be construed widely so as to include, for example, any formal or informal policies, rules, practices, arrangements or qualifications including one-off decisions and actions.
The Equality Act states “Direct discrimination is unlawful, no matter what the employer’s motive or intention, regardless of whether the less unfavourable treatment of the worker is conscious or unconscious”.

The Equality Act 2010 states that “if an employer’s agent or employer (such as an OH advisor, or HR Officer) knows in that capacity, of a worker’s disability, the employer will not usually be able to claim that they do not know of the disability, and that they cannot have subjected a disables person to discrimination arising from disability”.
“Therefore where information about disabled people may come through different channels, employers need to ensure there is a means – suitably confidential and subject to the disabled person’s consent –for bringing that information together to make it easier for the employer to fulfill their duties under the ACT”.

The Act says Discrimination against a disabled person occurs when an employer fails to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments imposed on them. Check the Bundles. Updates: Why do the ET and EAT think I am going to just sit back and let them go to the Law Society Gazette to further destroy my life. With the labels, they attached to me. And now that stupid Judge Shanks saying I made up my disabilities. By the time I am finished, they will know the difference between a manufactured contagious disease and my disabilities?

Dates:
February: 2nd & 3rd Nursery World Show www.nurseryworldshow.com/london. 23rd & 24th Training.
March: 2nd & 3rd Childcare Expo
April: Not aware of any appointments. But if not emergency, I can get them to reschedule

Bearing in mind that I have disabilities and is carer for my elderly husband.

Yours sincerely
Mervelee Myers.
