Race Discrimination

A background to Race Discrimination

In many instances today's modern workplace is a reflection of our multi-cultural society. Race discrimination at work is rendered unlawful by the Race Relations Act 1976. The concept of race discrimination covers discrimination on the grounds of your colour, race, nationality or ethnic or national origins.

However despite this robust race discrimination law, thousands of people a year are still subjected to race discrimination in the workplace. In some cases individuals who feel they have experienced race discrimination are simply too intimidated or embarrassed about what has happened to them to come forward. It is not uncommon for cases to go entirely unreported, simply because people are unaware of their legal rights and the protection they are entitled to under the Race Relations Act.
