Discrimination Advice

As an employer it is important to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and are not subjected to any less favourable treatment because of protected characteristics, such as disability, gender, race, age, religion or sexual orientation.

You may also be under a duty to provide support and make adjustments to minimise the impact of a protected characteristic on an employee’s ability to engage and progress within the workplace

Beecham Peacock are here to help with all of your Employment Law problems.

A person does not have to be an employee to bring a claim for discrimination against you, and so a robust recruitment process which ensures fairness and inclusivity is essential.

In the workplace, it is important to have policies in place that set out the expectation of behaviour towards others in the workplace, and the repercussions of failing to meet these standards.

An employer can be vicariously liable for the actions of its employees in relation to discrimination claims.

At Beecham Peacock, our discrimination lawyers for businesses can provide assistance in drafting equal opportunities and dignity and work policies; delivering equality and diversity training; and provide support if allegations of discrimination are made.
