This is discrimination against an employee because of one or more of the characteristics mentioned above.
Indirect discrimination is when a policy, practice or rule is introduced which applies to all staff in the same way. However, the policy negatively impacts some staff more than others. The Equality Act says it puts you at a particular disadvantage.
This is when an employee is treated less favourably because they have complained about, discrimination, made a court claim against their employer about discrimination, or be backing someone else’s complaint about discrimination. Discrimination arising from disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments. Together these elements are both known as ‘prohibited conduct’.
Is when a person is exposed to unwelcome verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct connected to a characteristic which intrudes upon his or her self-respect or creates a threatening, aggressive, corrupting, mortifying or invasive environment. It can even consist of behaviour that individuals find attacking even if it’s not directed at them, and even if they do not have the relevant protected characteristic themselves.
