Iman Dirir has recently separated from her husband and lives alone with her son aged 10. Her son has been diagnosed as suffering from autism. He has recently had problems at school and Mrs. Dirir is worried that he may be excluded from school. She thinks he should have a statement of special educational needs but the school seems reluctant to agree to this. Because of these problems, she has reduced her hours at work so that she can spend more time with her son and attend meetings with his teachers. Her income is now much less than it was and she is finding it difficult to manage on the wages she receives.en late but no one else has been dismissed for lateness. You know of several instances where women employees were dismissed before they could start their maternity leave and think that Trescos may have wanted to dismiss you to avoid paying you maternity pay.
1. What type of legal of advice does Mrs. Dirir need?
2. Can she use your service? What information do you need? E.g.
3. How urgent is the problem? How quickly does she need to have an appointment?
4. If your service can’t help Mrs. Dirir, what other help is available in your area?
5. Is there any general information (such as a leaflet) that you could give her while she is waiting for an appointment?
