The Equality Act 2010 provides protection against discrimination in relation to the following protected characteristics:
The Equality Act 2010 protects against many forms of prohibited, discriminatory conduct, such as:
If you are successful in an Employment Tribunal claim of discrimination, you are likely to be awarded compensation for any losses of earnings which have resulted from the discrimination you have suffered. You are also likely to receive an award for injury to feelings, which is designed to compensate you for the hurt caused by the discrimination you have suffered.
There is no qualifying period of employment needed to make a discrimination claim. However, claims must be brought within three months of the date of the discriminatory act or omission which you are complaining about.
Where the discrimination you have suffered took place over a period of time, the conduct is treated as if done at the end of the period, which means that any claim must be brought within three months of the end of the period.
