There are different sorts of legislation in force in this country that are designed to give us rights and protection as an individual, these cover such things as:

Basically this means that you should not be treated differently or in anyway less favourably than anyone else just because of your gender, your race, because you have a disability, or your age, your religion or sexual orientation.

Legislation is complex and if you feel that you have suffered from discrimination you need to seek advice. A good starting point is the official body responsible for ensuring that the legislation is working:

• The Equality and Human Rights Commission deals with all aspects of equality.

• DirectGov is an easy to use site with lots of information on legislation around people's rights.
• BIS(Department for Business Innovation and Skills) has information on Discrimination in employment

• SWRDAS Salford Welfare Rights Service can help you too
