What Is Sexual Orientation Discrimination?
Sexual orientation discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of their sexual orientation, whether they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, or another orientation. The Equality Act 2010 protects against such discrimination in the workplace, including:
- Direct Discrimination: Being treated less favourably because of your sexual orientation.
- Indirect Discrimination: Workplace policies or practices that disadvantage individuals based on sexual orientation.
- Harassment: Unwanted behaviour or comments creating a hostile or offensive environment.
- Victimisation: Being treated unfairly for raising or supporting a discrimination complaint.
If you’ve experienced any of these, we’re here to help you take the next steps.
