The Law
In 2010 The Equality Act protects in law people with these 'protected characteristics':
-
Age
-
Disability
-
Race
-
Gender reassignment
-
Marriage and civil partnerships
-
Pregnancy and maternity
-
Religion and belief
-
Sex
-
Sexual orientation
​
​This law is important in the work place as it helps people to be treated fairly and makes it an offence to treat people unfairly because they belong to these groups.
