Disability poser

The article concerning the young man who used his friend's gym membership provoked many different comments (Mercury, December 9).

Could anyone please tell me how many successful prosecutions have been brought in Leicester or Leicestershire under the Disability Discrimination Act?

Have there been any for providing less than satisfactory education for any child who would be covered by the Act, including learning differences?

National Inter Faith Week

National Inter Faith Week ran from Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th November 2010, with activities taking place all over the country designed to strengthen good inter faith relations at all levels in our society. More information about Inter Faith Week can be found here.

In Leicester, the Leicester Countil of Faiths had a stall in the High Cross shopping centre with banners and information. George Ballentyne, who is one of the core partners of REDP, as well as the Equality and Diversity Officer for the Council of Faiths, helped to organize and run this stall, but was helped out by volunteers during the week, including Liz Harrison and Kelly Jussab from REDP (pictured)
