Yes you are covered in many aspects (Law) Equality act 2010 which is a recognised and enshrined in UK law. I had problems with a aggressive bully, maybe send a email include human resources in the email, include LAW and towards the end of the email note " i trust this matter is resolved and no futher action will need to be taken " ( A POLITE WAY OF INFORMING H.R IF THEY DONT DO THEIR JOB HIS BOSS WILL BE INFORMED.... AND SO ON. my situation ended shortly after everyone was up-to-speed. Depends how harsh you want the email and whats involved mine included Intimidation, harassment and causing me great alarm and a detriment to my health, you also have the fact you're pregnant HOW DARE THEY. Also at a later date and after talking to a epilepsy nurse she said if they was informed they would of directly phoned them up (something you may want to consider). Either way YOU have the LAW on YOUR side. What i did learn is that if i didnt do anything, it would of continued as they only recognised LAW when stated clearly the Equality act 2010 which covers many aspects.

Epilepsy is a physical, long-term condition. People with epilepsy are protected under the Equality Act even if their seizures are controlled or if they don’t consider themselves to be ‘disabled’.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member it’s management that are making my life difficult 😞. They aren’t helpful or supportive in any way when it comes to my epilepsy and now I’m pregnant too, I feel even less secure in my job. They aren’t advertising my role for maternity cover and are planning to take on a permanent full time member of staff
