Discrimination.
All forms of discrimination are illegal, some are moral issues about how we conduct ourselves in everyday life, for example, are we discriminating when we give up our seat for an OAP but not for a pregnant lady? Are we only discriminating because we have made that choice? The passenger that never gave up their seat to anyone did not discriminate, but is that right?
In law, we must lay down rules to protect against any form of discrimination, but these rules apply in only a number of situations in the work place including, recruitment, education, buying or renting property, using a public service or as a guest or member of a club.
Discrimination is covered under the Equality Act 2010 and protects against discrimination in respect of;
These protected characteristics extend to people if they do not fall into one of the areas covered, but have been discriminated against because they are associated with someone that does or they have been a part of a complaint against someone that does.
We will deal with each area individually but if you feel you have been a victim of discrimination then we recommend you take advice.
If you feel you have been a victim of discrimination you can complain directly, or ask someone to do it for you. As well as being able to receive advice through a solicitor, the government has set up the Equality Advisory Support Service to help, if you need them they can be contacted on line or by telephone on 0808 800 0082
