WHAT CAN HODGE JONES & ALLEN HELP YOU ACHIEVE? We will ask what you want to achieve, depending on your case it may be possible to achieve the following: A reasonable adjustment: ✓ For example, we represented a tenant who was deaf and her son who was blind. We sought for there to be two different type of doorbells fitted– one audio and one visual to make it easier for them to live in the property. The adjustment must be reasonable, as such you could not ask your landlord to start making structural changes to a property, for example widening doorways for a wheelchair, but it would be reasonable to ask for a non-fixed ramp to a front door to allow wheelchair access. ✓ Changes to a policy or practice that will that stop the problem happening again, or happening to someone else: For example, a change to a local authority’s housing allocation scheme. ✓ An apology: Many of our clients simply require the discrimination to be acknowledged and to receive an apology. ✓ For the discrimination to stop: This is often sought if the discrimination is ongoing.
