Solicitors for race discrimination claims
We offer comprehensive legal representation for individuals who have faced race discrimination under English Law.
What is Race Discrimination?
The Equality Act 2010 protects employees from unfair treatment based on race, including color, nationality, and ethnic or national origin. Race discrimination can manifest in various ways, including:
- Direct Discrimination: Being treated less favourably because of your race (for example being overlooked for promotion opportunities or offered lower pay compared to colleagues).
- Indirect Discrimination: Workplace policies seemingly neutral but disproportionately disadvantage a particular race (e.g., requiring English language fluency when not essential for the job role).
- Racial Harassment: Unwanted conduct related to race that creates a hostile or intimidating environment (e.g., racial slurs, jokes, or offensive stereotypes).
- Victimisation: Experiencing negative treatment after complaining about racial discrimination or supporting a colleague’s claim.
