Because race is 1 of the 9 protected characteristics of employment law, any negative treatment of an employee due to their race may contribute towards a racial discrimination case. The 9 characteristics protected by the Equality Act (2010) include:
These characteristics are protected by UK law, which means that if your employer has treated you badly due to you having one or more of these characteristics, then you need to speak with a race discrimination lawyer immediately.
You only have 3 months minus 1 day from the date of the last discriminatory act to start a claim at an employment tribunal. Acting quickly is therefore imperative if you wish to protect your rights.

Discrimination isn’t always clear to all parties involved. Some discriminatory acts are often played down as friendly workplace banter, or are hidden in the fabric of a company as a whole in terms of its underlying culture.

In any case, speaking with a race discrimination expert solicitor will allow you to be informed about the likely legal position. David Greenhalgh can offer advice tailored to you and your position, supporting you with his expert advice on the best way forward.
