Race discrimination act

Indirect discrimination

Can occur where there is a policy, practice, procedure or workplace rule which applies to all workers but particularly disadvantages people of a particular race. For example, a requirement for all job applicants to have GCSE Maths and English would discriminate against potential candidates educated in countries which don’t have GCSE’s unless the employee accepted equivalent qualifications

Harassment

When unwanted conduct related to race has the purpose of effect of violating an individual dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual

Victimisation

Unfair treatment of an employee who has made or supported a complaint about race discrimination
