Specialists in Equal Opportunities in Employment

Employers can be held responsible for acts of prohibited discrimination on grounds of a number of protected characteristics including Sex, Race, Disability, Age, Sexual Orientation, Religion and Belief. Additionally, an employer can be held liable for discriminatory acts carried out by its employees.

It is important that you implement prevention methods including a robust Equal Opportunities and training policy, in addition to being able to manage any complaints.

Claims for unlawful discrimination can be expensive to defend and there is no limit to the damages that can be awarded. We can assist with responding to such claims and minimising your exposure.
