Equal Opportunities

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:
- Age
- Being or becoming a transsexual person
- Being married or in a civil partnership
- Being pregnant or on maternity leave
- Have a disability
- Race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
- Religion, belief or lack of religion/belief
- Gender
- Sexual orientation
