Sexual Orientation Discrimination

What is Sexual Orientation Discrimination?

Discrimination against people because of their sexual orientation happens across the country, in organisations large and small. It can be systemic - in other words something that is part of an established ‘culture’ of discrimination, harassment and bullying or it can be on a smaller scale – perhaps one person’s prejudice that results in unfair and illegal actions. It can also be unintentional, often in the form of joking or teasing. It is your responsibility to understand the law and do your part to protect against sexual orientation discrimination in your workplace. Doing so makes for a fairer and more diverse workplace. Failing to do so can lead to unhappiness and distress for victims and serious penalties for offenders and their employers.
