The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham was ordered to pay compensation and damages to Rachael Wright-Turner (right) for disability discrimination and harassment.
LBHF Council was ordered to pay compensation to Rachael Wright-TurnerA former council chief who suffered PTSD after working with the bereaved families of the Grenfell Tower fire has been awarded a record £4.6 million payout after suing her bosses.
The employment tribunal's ruling – which found senior officers in the Labour-run authority had lied in evidence – is believed to be the highest-ever such award against a public body. Pictured: Grenfell Tower Dr Eva Michalak, who worked as a consultant physician at Pontefract General Infirmary, won claims for sex and race discrimination and unfair dismissal against the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and three senior staff members after colleagues ran a four-year 'get Eva campaign' following her maternity leave. She said in 2010 she had suffered 'years of psychological abuse' before receiving the record award.
She had developed PTSD while working at Kensington and Chelsea council as a 'humanitarian assistance lead' with those affected by the Grenfell blaze that killed 72 people.Ms Wright-Turner then moved to Hammersmith and Fulham. After learning of the diagnosis, the council's former chief executive Kim Smith said Ms Wright-Turner's brain 'doesn't work like other people's'.She was dismissed while on sick leave without a chance to discuss or challenge the decision.
No mention was made of her PTSD or ADHD in her termination letter 'to avoid any inference that this decision was in any way connected with the claimant's mental health or related sickness absence', the tribunal panel said.
