Young people: know your rights

This is current law

The Equality Act comes into force on 1 October 2010.

View the forthcoming guidance

Young women and men may find themselves being treated unfairly because of their gender, age, disability, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation or transgender status.  This can happen whether they are at school, school leavers making career choices, new employees, part-time workers, students in further or higher education, apprentices or trainees.

We have put together some advice resources that should be useful if you, or some you know, are experiencing discrimination as a young person.
