Summary of the law on religion or belief
This booklet provides an overview of the legal protections against religion or belief discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, explaining how the law safeguards individuals from unfair treatment in all aspects of employment, including recruitment, promotion, and dismissal.
It outlines key concepts such as direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation, as well as the responsibilities of employers and the limited exceptions that may apply in specific circumstances.
The guide also explains how claims are assessed, the burden of proof, applicable time limits and available remedies, including compensation, emphasising the importance of early legal advice where discrimination is suspected.
