We appreciate that if you are discriminated against at work it can be a very difficult time. If you are a victim of unfair treatment in the workplace you may feel vulnerable and upset as well as worried about your career. The effects can be difficult for both you and your family.

It is your employer’s duty to encourage equality and diversity within the workplace. An employer should have an up-to-date equality and diversity policy and be putting the policies into practice. An employer should treat all members of staff appropriately and is responsible for preventing discrimination.

Employees are protected from discrimination at work on the grounds of:

• sex
• race
• age
• disability
• pregnancy and maternity
• gender reassignment
• marriage and civil partnership
• religion or belief and
• sexual orientation
