In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 protects people from various types of discrimination, many of which have been mentioned previously, including direct, indirect, and institutional discrimination. The Act outlines certain 'protected characteristics', which will be discussed in detail later in this course. For now, let's delve into additional forms of discrimination specified in the Act. 1. Associative Discrimination: This type of discrimination occurs when an individual is discriminated against due to their association with another person who possesses a protected characteristic. The Equality Act 2010 expanded this definition to encompass age, disability, gender reassignment, and sex. Before, it was limited to race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation. 2. Perceptive Discrimination: This form of discrimination arises when an individual is discriminated against based on a perceived protected characteristic, regardless of whether they actually possess that characteristic. The 2010 Act extended this to include disability, gender reassignment, and sex; previously, it only covered age, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation. 3. Harassment: Defined in the Act as unwanted conduct related to a protected characteristic, harassment is any behaviour that violates an individual's dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment. This definition applies to all protected characteristics except for pregnancy, maternity, marriage, and civil partnership. Importantly, an individual can report offensive behaviour even if it is not directed at them. 4. Third-Party Harassment: The Act also protects against third-party harassment, holding employers potentially liable for harassment of their employees by non-employees. Liability only applies if the harassment has happened on at least two previous occasions, the employer is aware of it, and no reasonable steps were taken to prevent its repetition. Like general harassment, this does not apply to the protected characteristics of pregnancy, maternity, marriage, and civil partnership. 5. And finally, victimisation: This takes place when an individual is treated poorly because they've made or supported a complaint or raised a grievance under the Equality Act, or are suspected of doing so. However, protection from victimisation does not apply if a complaint is made or supported maliciously and is proven to be false. Although we've been discussing discrimination predominantly in the context of employment, the reach of the Equality Act extends far beyond the workplace. It applies to every interaction you have with another individual, governing all aspects of personal and professional life.
