The Equality Act was introduced in the UK to eliminate unlawful discrimination, advance equal opportunities and promote good relations between people. The Act makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate against workers and puts an onus on businesses to prohibit prejudicial behaviour and make adjustments so that everyone has access to the same opportunities. All workplaces must comply with the Act and must be seen to be actively promoting equality and diversity amongst employees.
More specifically, the Act offers protection to people with one or more of nine specific ‘protected characteristics’. This means that you cannot discriminate against a person based on any of these particular traits. Take a look at the list of protected characteristics below and consider which of them apply to you and your colleagues:
Age.
Disability.
Gender reassignment.
Marriage and civil partnership.
Pregnancy and maternity.
Race.
Religion and belief.
Sex.
Sexual orientation.
