Gordon Ramsay gives job to student with dwarfism
Gordon Ramsay (51), decided to offer a job to an 18-year-old man with dwarfism. The boy was allegedly banned from a cooking course because of his size. Louis Makepeace was born with achondroplasia, it’s a very rare form of dwarfism. He was initially promised a spot at the Heart of Worcestershire College hospitality and catering course but the college authorities decided to turn down his application because the boy was considered a "safety risk" to other pupils.

"They said I would be a health and safety risk and disruption to the other students and get in their way, which was really humiliating," the boy said.
No wonder the government is failing to get disabled people into work. Louis Makepeace said his college told him he would be a 'safety risk' if he studied catering. Like him, I've been told no time and again. https://t.co/8RrZT4nSKG#HigherEd#disability#discrimination#work

"I have always loved cooking Italian recipes since I was little, and keeping myself healthy and fit and I'm a huge fan of Gino D'Acampo."
"All the time I was at school I was always very confident, I had lots of friends and my disability was never an issue."
"But how am I supposed to get by if this is how I’m treated - I feel like I have been excluded from the real world."
Louis Makepeace waiting for the decision
His mum Pauline said: "He's been really upset by this." She is waiting for the decision.
"They won't give me straight answer but when I asked the course leader whether he should find another course he told me it would 'probably be a good idea."
