A Muslim couple go to a nursery and ask the receptionist they have any places she says yes and asks them to feel out the admissions form they hand the form back once they have done this and leave. The receptionist then reads through the form and sees that there child does not speak English and is in a wheel chair so the receptionist throws the admissions form in the bin this is indirect discrimination as she let the couple believe they would have chance of their son getting into that nursery.
