Under the Equality Act 2010, an employer cannot discriminate against you if you possess one of the nine protected characteristics: sex, age, disability, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, and race.
Discrimination is difficult to prove. However, if proven, it can cause considerable damage to your employer’s reputation. Our experienced solicitors will make the risks of a Tribunal claim clear to your employer and negotiate for reasonable compensation.
