Discrimination At Work

Under The Equality Act 2010, It Is Against The Law To Discriminate Against Someone  In The Respect Of The Following Protected Characteristics:


  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender reassignment
  • Marriage or civil partnership
  • Pregnancy and maternity
  • Race
  • Religion or belief
  • Sex
  • Sexual orientation


Discrimination Itself Can Take Many Forms, And The Following Types Of Conduct Are Prohibited By The Equality Act:


  • Direct discrimination (where someone is treated less favourably because of a protected characteristic)
  • Indirect discrimination (where someone is affected by acts which, whilst not intended to treat anybody less favourably, have the effect of disadvantaging people with a particular protected characteristic)
  • Harassment 
  • Victimisation
  • Instructing, causing, inducing, or helping and of the above types of unlawful conduct


It is very important that a discrimination claim is submitted to the Tribunal in a particular way, as there are various factors which claimants have to show in order for a claim to succeed and if these are not dealt with in the ET1 the claim could fail. If you think that you may have a claim for discrimination, we are able to advise you of your opinions and draft an appropriate claim form.
