Discrimination, Victimisation and Harassment

Discrimination, Victimisation and Harassment

Our Services

Work with our Employment Law Specialists in Leamington Spa and Warwickshire

Experiencing discrimination, victimisation or harassment on the grounds of a protected characteristic, in the workplace, is both unlawful and deeply upsetting.

The protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 are: sex, sexual orientation, race, age, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, gender reassignment, religion or belief.

You should note that you do not need any period of continuous employment, to be eligible to make a discrimination claim.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect at work, regardless of their protected characteristics. Our experienced employment law team understands the complexities of discrimination and can advise you about your legal position and your options.

We can help individuals across Warwickshire and the UK, with expert employment legal advice.

Our Employment Law Experts Can Help You

  • Identify Discrimination
    Clearly understand if you have experienced direct or indirect discrimination, harassment, or victimisation based on protected characteristics. There are two additional forms of discrimination relating to disability only which are: discrimination arising from disability and a duty to make reasonable adjustments.

  • Raise a Formal Grievance
    Consider whether to formally raise your concerns about discrimination, harassment, or victimisation with your employer.

  • Negotiate a Resolution
    Explore opportunities to resolve the issues through negotiation, potentially leading to a settlement agreement, avoiding the need to make an Employment Tribunal claim.

  • Prepare for Employment Tribunal
    Build a comprehensive case and prepare effectively for an Employment Tribunal hearing, to pursue your claim for compensation, if a settlement cannot be reached.
