Discrimination cases can be complex and stressful.
Employees and workers are protected from discrimination on the following grounds:
- age,
- disability,
- gender reassignment,
- marriage and civil partnership,
- pregnancy and maternity,
- race,
- sex,
- religion or belief, and
- sexual orientation.
These are called ‘protected characteristics’.
Discrimination can be direct or indirect and includes matters such as harassment and victimisation.
Harassment is probably one of the most difficult matters for an employee to face. There is the fear of what might happen to you, your income, your career and your reputation if you make a complaint.
We can:
- advise you on how to raise your concerns;
advise you on any other claims you may have against the perpetrator and/or your employer.
