Are you eligible to make a claim?
There are several different aspects of discrimination which can give rise to a legal claim. People can experience unlawful discrimination based on:
Race: a person who is treated unfavourably based on their race, descent, nationality, ethnic origin and/or skin colour.
Sex: a person treated unfavourably because of their gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, family responsibilities and marital status.
Age: a person treated unfavourably because they were older than other people and therefore treated unfairly.
Disability: a person with a disability has a right to the same employment opportunities as a person without a disability.
What are you able to claim?
If you have experienced unlawful discrimination in your workplace, then a claim may be available to you. Typical outcomes from a claim include a written apology, financial compensation, and training of staff members.
