Discrimination, harassment and unfair treatment in the workplace can have significant professional and personal consequences. These situations can also be complex, particularly where inappropriate behaviour has developed gradually or where an employee is uncertain whether what they have experienced may amount to unlawful discrimination. I advise individuals on workplace concerns involving protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, as well as matters involving harassment, victimisation and reasonable adjustments.
I can help clients review what has happened, understand the relevant workplace documentation and communications, and consider the practical options available for raising or resolving their concerns. Depending on the circumstances, this may include internal grievance procedures, correspondence with the employer, settlement discussions, ACAS Early Conciliation or consideration of Employment Tribunal proceedings.
