A long-serving lecturer has won £90,000 after a college was found to have discriminated against his disability and forced him into redundancy.
Bournemouth and Poole College must pay the compensation to Richard Phillips after he was unfairly dismissed following 25 years of service.
Phillips, who taught English and functional skills, said he had lost the career he loved after three years of “turmoil”.
At the end of an employment tribunal in June last year, Bournemouth and Poole College conceded that it had failed to make a reasonable adjustment to the redundancy process that led to Phillips’ departure.
