Responding to questions of discrimination in the workplace

It is good practice for a worker who thinks that they may have experienced unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation under equality law to seek relevant information from their employer before issuing a formal claim. This can help them to decide if they have a valid claim or not.

You should treat any such questions seriously and promptly and not ignore them. Any such questions and answers can form part of the evidence in a case brought under the Equality Act 2010.
