Race Discrimination

Race discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourably on grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin. It covers all terms and conditions of employment – and actions by an employer from recruitment to pay, and training to the termination of a contract.

The law relating to this is complex. Just because something applies to all employees, it doesn’t mean it is not discriminatory. A 'provision, criterion or practice' which disproportionately disadvantages workers of a particular racial group compared to another could well amount to discrimination if the employer cannot show this is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

It is unlawful to discriminate against a job-seeker, worker or trainee on grounds of race, colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origins. Employers should ensure they have policies in place which are designed to prevent discrimination in:

• recruitment and selection
• determining pay
• training and development
• selection for promotion
• discipline and grievances
• countering bullying and harassment
