Campaign Highlights

Common issues we face!

Employment Equality Law

UK Employment Equality Law is a body of law which legislates against prejudice-based actions in the workplace. As an integral part of UK Labour Law it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because they have one of the “protected characteristics”, such as age, disability, gender, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

Indirect Discrimination

Indirect discrimination is also unlawful, and this exists when an employer applies a policy to their workplace that affects everyone equally, but it has a skewed impact on people with a protected characteristic when there is no good business justification for that practice.

Direct Discrimination

Direct discrimination is treating a person less favourably than another who lacks the protected characteristic, is ALWAYS unjustified and unlawful, except when there is a “occupational requirement” which is a legitimate business justification accepted by a court.
