Discrimination (sex, race, disability, age, religion, belief, orientation)

If you have been discriminated against, our specialist team of solicitors are here to help.

There are different ways in which you can find yourself being a victim of discrimination. This may be on the grounds of age, disability, race, religious / non religious belief, sex or sex orientation for example.

Events before, during and after employment may give rise to a claim of discrimination. A claim can be made against your employer as well as any individual who has subjected you to such discrimination.

Discrimination can be direct or indirect and you may also find that you are being victimised or harassed as this can follow on from you asserting your rights under discrimination legislation.

No qualifying period of employment is needed to pursue a discrimination claim, unlike an unfair dismissal claim where you require at least 1 or 2 years continuous service.

A claim that the dismissal was discriminatory can be made without any qualifying period of service.
