Discrimination is a particularly complicated area of the law. Our aim is to provide advice, guidance and training on how to avoid claims by, for example, having proper policies in place. We can also provide representation at employment tribunals.

Sex

Under the Sex Discrimination Act (SDA) 1975 it is unlawful for employers to discriminate on the grounds of sex, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity leave, or because someone intends to undergo, is undergoing or has undergone gender reassignment.

The two main kinds of unlawful discrimination are direct and indirect discrimination. It is also unlawful to victimise someone who has made a complaint under the SDA.

Harassment, that is, unwanted conduct that violates a persons dignity or creates and intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that person, is also unlawful.
