Help is available for students and staff who have experienced discrimination (on campus or off campus).
The University and The Students’ Union at UWE have a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination.
Discrimination
Discrimination is when an individual or a group of people is treated less favourably than others based on one of the nine protected characteristics in the Equality Act (2010). These are:
- age
- disability
- gender reassignment
- marriage and civil partnership (in employment only)
- pregnancy and maternity
- race
- religion or belief
- sex
- sexual orientation.
It may have a very damaging effect on those individuals who face it.
