Recruitment agencies
Can I be held responsible for acts of discrimination and harassment if I use a recruitment agency to find my employees?
You may be, depending upon the instructions you give to the recruitment consultant, and who is responsible for the actions which are thought to be discriminatory.
Does my job placement agency/rehabilitation provider have to disclose my disability to a prospective employer?
This is a matter for the applicant and the agency/provider to discuss to firstly understand if the employer does need to know and why and, secondly, to reach an agreement on the information to be provided to the employer.
