Harrods Invite Michelle Wall To Give Their Staff Disability Training #HugsForNoah

June 25, 2015

Red-faced Harrods bosses have invited a mother to give their staff disability training – after they refused to let her paralysed three-year-old son into the world-famous store.

Michelle Wall, 43, was shocked when she was stopped from pushing brave son Noah into the department store during a trip to Knightsbridge, in London on Monday.

Noah, who suffers from Spina bifida and chromosome abnormalities, uses a specially-adapted blue plastic wheelchair to help him get around.

But even when his mum and sister Steph picked the youngster up to prove that his legs did not work, security staff still refused to let them take the wheelchair inside. 

At first Harrods apologised for the mix-up and invited Noah to use their cafe free of charge.

But after a public backlash they have now invited furious Michelle back to their store to actually give their staff disability training.

A Harrods spokesman said: “We have welcomed Michelle’s suggestion that she comes to the store to train key staff in the different types of wheelchairs available and are in the process of arranging it.

“As part of the visit, Harrods will treat Michelle, Noah, and the rest of their family to a lunch in the Disney Cafe and a special tour of our toy department.

“Noah is also first on the list for a VIP trip to see Father Christmas in the grotto later in the year. We look forward to seeing the Wall family at Harrods very soon.”
