How to monitor your complaint

Your employer should monitor the situation at your workplace to make sure that the unlawful discrimination (if your employer found there was discrimination) has stopped and that there is no victimisation of you or anyone who helped you.

Whether your employer decides that there has been unlawful discrimination or not, you must not be treated badly for having complained. For example, if your employer made you transfer to another part of their organisation (if it is big enough) this may amount to victimisation. However, you could ask to be transferred, and your employer should do this if you are sure this is what you really want.

You could bring a claim to the Employment Tribunal if you are not satisfied with:

  • your employer’s investigation
  • their decision
  • the action they have taken to put the situation right
  • how you have been treated after you made the complaint
