The Human Rights Act

23 April 2012 TEU Leave a comment

The Human Rights Act 1993 prohibits discrimination on 13 grounds. Harassment related to any one of these grounds could be seen as a form of discrimination. There are specific provisions related to racial and sexual harassment and victimisation. An employee may make a complaint both about the employer and the offending employee.

The full act is available, and searchable, here
