How we can help
Did you know that discrimination is a legally defined term? Unlawful conduct from your employer may be categorised as different types of discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. The starting point is considering whether the harassment or bullying is linked to a “Protected Characteristic”.
The protected characteristics are

- Disability
- Gender Reassignment
- Marriage & civil partnership
- Pregnancy and maternity
- Race
- Religion or belief
