Disclaimer
The law can be very complicated. This handbook explains things as clearly and as briefly as possible, but it can only give you an overview of the law on discrimination and how to resolve a problem. This means we have had to miss some things out – things that could affect what the law says. Please do not rely on any of the examples or case studies used in this handbook for advice or when taking court action.
We have included other useful sources of information, but we are not responsible for their contents.
This handbook is not legal advice. It is intended to help you to find your way around a difficult and complex system. All information was correct at the time of writing (April 2018). Please seek specialist advice wherever you can.
