Direct discrimination – if you are treated less favourably because of one of the characteristics in the list above. An obvious example would be refusing to recruit a suitable candidate because they were pregnant.

Harassment – if you are treated in a way which you find upsetting or offensive, or which makes your work environment unpleasant. An example would be an insensitive and hurtful ageist comment.
Victimisation – if you’ve complained or intended to complain about discrimination, or if you’ve given evidence or helped someone to complain about discrimination and are then disadvantaged. For example, if you were turned down for promotion because you had assisted an employee as their representative at a grievance hearing.
