What is workplace discrimination?
Discrimination in the workplace can take many forms. The Equality Act 2010 identified ‘protected characteristics’ and made it illegal to discriminate against people based on these. The protected characteristics are:
- age
- gender
- race
- sexual orientation
- marriage or civil partnership
- religion or belief
- disability
- gender reassignment
- pregnancy or maternity leave.
