Impairment

Most impairments or disabilities are not visible. Hidden disabilities include mental and cognitive disabilities, some hearing and visual impairments, epilepsy and diabetes.

 

Institutional discrimination

Institutional discrimination is the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people in different equality groups. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviours which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and stereotyping, which disadvantage equality groups.
