    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Morrisons can only record events disclosed to it because equality legislation prohibits requiring employees to disclose epilepsy information.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “As Morrisons understands, the suggested purpose of recording any observed or reported epileptic event is so that it has information that may be of assistance to assess an employee’s epilepsy with respect to their work as necessary. As the evidence clearly reflected at the inquest, it is important to recognise that in order for Morrisons to have a full and accurate picture of an employee’s epilepsy, it would be necessary for it to be informed by the employee of epileptic events that occurred outside of work, for example, at home. It is only possible for Morrisons to record and act on the epileptic events that it is informed of.”
