What Is Religion or Belief Discrimination?
Religion or belief discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of their religion, lack of religion, or deeply held philosophical beliefs. The Equality Act 2010 provides legal protection in various workplace scenarios, such as:
- Recruitment: Being overlooked for a role due to your religion or beliefs.
- Workplace Policies: Rules or practices that disadvantage people of certain faiths or beliefs.
- Harassment: Unwanted comments or behaviour creating a hostile environment.
- Victimisation: Being treated unfairly for raising a discrimination complaint or supporting someone else’s.
If you’ve faced any of these, we’re here to help you take the next steps.
