Discrimination Complaint Legal Guidance
Summary
In the UK, indirect discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 can be addressed through pre-action procedures before court action. This includes sending a Letter Before Action, considering Alternative Dispute Resolution, and gathering evidence. Compensation for injury to feelings is assessed using Vento Bands, which consider the severity and impact on mental health. Mild impacts involve occasional symptoms, while moderate to significant impacts affect daily life more frequently. Understanding these factors can help in estimating compensation and preparing a strong case.Full Conversation
