What is Race Discrimination in the Workplace?

Under the Equality Act 2010, it is unlawful for an employer to treat you unfairly because of your race. This is a 'protected characteristic' which broadly includes your colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origins. This protection covers all aspects of employment, from recruitment and promotion to dismissal. As expert employment discrimination solicitors, we can advise on all forms of unfair treatment.

Direct Discrimination
Indirect Discrimination
Harassment
Victimisation

Race discrimination can be subtle. If you feel you've been treated unfairly because of your race, even if it doesn't fit a neat label, please contact us. Your experience may still be unlawful.

Race Discrimination FAQs

What should I do first if I experience race discrimination at work?

The first step is to keep a detailed written record of every incident, including dates, times, locations, what was said or done, and who was present. Then, seek confidential legal advice from a specialist solicitor before taking formal action. We can help you understand your rights and the best way to proceed.

Can I make a claim if the discrimination was a one-off incident?

Yes. A single act of race discrimination can be enough to bring a successful claim if it was serious. Unlike unfair dismissal, you do not need to have worked for your employer for any minimum length of time to be protected from discrimination.

What compensation can I receive for a race discrimination claim?

Compensation in discrimination cases is uncapped. It is calculated based on two main parts: your financial losses (e.g., lost salary if you were dismissed) and an award for 'injury to feelings', which is based on the severity and impact of the discriminatory treatment.

You Deserve to be Treated with Dignity & Respect

Race discrimination is unlawful. Our expert solicitors are here to provide the confidential advice and tenacious representation you need to achieve justice.
