What is Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. Below are the 9 areas of discrimination, with links to dedicated pages where you can find out more:
- Age Discrimination
- Disability Discrimination
- Gender Reassignment Discrimination
- Marriage or Civil Partnership Discrimination
- Pregnancy and Maternity Discrimination
- Race Discrimination
- Religion or Belief Discrimination
- Sex Discrimination
- Sexual Orientation Discrimination
Each page provides detailed information about your rights and how we can support you in taking action against unfair treatment.
Discrimination can take many forms, such as:
- Direct Discrimination: Being treated less favourably than others.
- Indirect Discrimination: Policies or practices that disadvantage certain groups.
- Harassment: Unwanted behaviour that creates an intimidating or hostile environment.
- Victimisation: Being treated unfairly for raising a complaint or supporting someone who has.
If you’ve experienced any of these, we can help you understand your rights and the options you have.
