Sexual Orientation Discrimination

It is unlawful to discriminate or harass an individual on the basis of sexual orientation, or for perceived sexual orientation. The provisions in equality legislation protecting individuals from sexual orientation discrimination are still relatively new compared to much of the other legislation dealing with discrimination. It is imperative that your solicitor has the right experience, skills and up-to-date knowledge to represent your best interests at all times.

If you think you may have a claim for sexual orientation discrimination, all you need to do is fill in our online discrimination enquiry form and respond to some straightforward questions.  Our solicitors will then assess your prospects of succeeding in a claim, and contact you with their opinion. The service is free and 100% confidential.

You may be raising sexual orientation discrimination issues through a formal grievance procedure. Or the sexual orientation discrimination you are experiencing may include disciplinary proceedings brought against you. If you are attending a grievance or disciplinary hearing without a trade union representative, our Executive Reps service provides valuable support during the hearing.
