So since I got my finger blowed up, I can't really play piano, and I have been taking on psychic damage ever since.

Judgement Day for the EHRC - an incredible piece by Ian Dunt. Tl;dr: #Ehrc have well overstepped the mark; any employer who follows their interim guidance probably opens themselves up to more legal challenges than they protect against.
