This booklet provides an overview of the legal protections against race discrimination in the workplace under the Equality Act 2010, outlining how discrimination, harassment and victimisation can arise across all stages of employment, from recruitment to dismissal.

It explains the responsibilities of employers and the circumstances in which individuals may bring claims, including the need to demonstrate less favourable treatment or disadvantage linked to race, as well as key concepts such as direct and indirect discrimination and the burden of proof.

The guide also summarises available remedies through employment tribunals, including compensation for financial loss and injury to feelings, and highlights strict time limits for bringing claims, emphasising the importance of early legal advice.
