How you can be discriminated against 
Discrimination can come in one of the following forms: 
• direct discrimination - treating someone with a protected characteristic 
less favourably than others 
• indirect discrimination - putting rules or arrangements in place that apply 
to everyone, but that put someone with a protected characteristic at an 
unfair disadvantage 
• harassment - unwanted behaviour linked to a protected characteristic that 
violates someone's dignity or creates an offensive environment for them 
• victimisation - treating someone unfairly because they've complained 
about discrimination or harassment 
It can be lawful to have specific rules or arrangements in place, as long as 
they can be justified.
