You couldn't make this stuff up! It all just adds to my collection of case studies for equality and diversity training. I have to thank Rich Watts for alerting me to this story (I should warn you that it links to a story on the Daily Mail website - even the Daily Mail run disability discrimination stories sometimes.)
As our work place is so close to Oxford Street, we often get asked about practices like asking for a photo of someone as part of the application process, and the recruitment of "in-store models" rather than "shop assistants." This always leads to a lively discussion about how judging someone on looks for a job can lead to discrimination on just about any ground - race, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation and religion.
