Can you discriminate against part-time workers?

Yes, such discrimination is prohibited by the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations.

Can an employer deny my request to change from full time?

An employer can set the work hours. The employer seems to have a legitimate non discriminatory rationale for the schedule decision.

When to request a change from full time to part time?

It may be that the employee is planning to enroll in school to seek a degree. If this is the reason, and it will be beneficial to the position held, make sure and explain this to the employer. There are other extenuating circumstances that could require a change from fulltime to part time.
