  1. Year 1 – Theme 1 – Lesson 13 H C JEWITT

  2. Lesson 12 Learning Objectives – To Be Able To: • Peer assess a Section A Q2 • Review Theme 1.2 by ensure you have notes covering the specification

  3. Lesson 13 Learning Objectives – To Be Able To: • Understand what are the legal rights and responsibilities of employers and employees in relation to discrimination in the workplace • Understand ‘Consumer Rights’

  4. LO 1: Review Your Research • Discrimination at work

  5. The law protects you against discrimination at work, including: • dismissal • employment terms and conditions • pay and benefits • promotion and transfer opportunities • training • recruitment • redundancy

  6. Some forms of discrimination are only allowed if they’re needed for the way the organisation works, eg: • a Roman Catholic school restricting applications for admission of pupils to Catholics only • employing only women in a health centre for Muslim women

  7. Disability If you’re disabled you have the same rights as other workers. Employers should also make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to help disabled employees and job-applicants with: • application forms (eg providing forms in Braille, audio formats) • aptitude tests (eg giving extra time to complete the tests) • dismissal or redundancy • discipline and grievances • interview arrangements (eg wheelchair access, communicator support) • making sure the workplace has the right facilities and equipment for disabled workers or someone offered a job • promotion, transfer and training opportunities • terms of employment, including pay • work-related benefits like access to recreation or refreshment facilities

  8. What you can do If you think you’ve been unfairly discriminated against you can: • complain directly to the person or organisation • use someone else to help you sort it out (called ‘mediation’ or ‘alternative dispute resolution’) • make a claim in a court or tribunal

  9. Ways To Prevent For Employers It is against the law to treat someone less favourably than someone else because of a personal characteristic, eg religion or age. There are different kinds of discrimination. It can include, for example: • not hiring someone • selecting a particular person for redundancy • paying someone less than another worker without good reason • Discrimination does not have to be deliberate and intentional. You can discriminate indirectly with working conditions or rules that disadvantage one group of people more than another.

  10. Recruitment • Job adverts • You must not state or imply in a job advert that you will discriminate against anyone. This includes saying you won’t make reasonable adjustments for workers with a disability. • Only use phrases like “recent graduate” or “highly experienced” when these are actual requirements of the job. This could discriminate against younger or older people who might not have had the opportunity to get certain qualifications. • Where you advertise might cause indirect discrimination - for example, advertising only in men’s magazines. • When you can discriminate • If it’s a requirement of the job you can specify that the successful applicant will be from a particular group. For example, people under 18 cannot legally sell alcohol.
