What Is Race Discrimination?
Race discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of their race, including colour, nationality, or ethnic or national origin. The Equality Act 2010 provides legal protection against racial discrimination, which can take the form of:
- Direct Discrimination: Being treated less favourably because of your race.
- Indirect Discrimination: Workplace policies or practices that disadvantage people of a certain race.
- Harassment: Unwanted behaviour or comments creating a hostile environment.
- Victimisation: Being treated unfairly for raising a complaint or supporting someone else’s.
If you’ve faced any of these forms of discrimination, we’re here to help you take action.
