Indirect discrimination on the other hand occurs where the effect of certain requirements, conditions or practices imposed by an employer or education provider has an adverse impact disproportionately on one group or other unless they have a reason to justify it. Other forms of discrimination can come in the form of harassment; offensive or intimidating behavior - sexist language or racial abuse, or Victimisation; where somebody is treated badly because they tried to make or made a complaint about discrimination (EHRC, 2010). What is the basis of discrimination? As mentioned above, discrimination can be based on the grounds of individual’s culture, disability, age, gender, sexuality, cognitive ability, family status and social class. Culture: treating individual differently or unfairly because of their social background, religion and culture can be classified as discrimination.

Discrimination is when someone singles out someone or something because of characteristics they may have. Discrimination is different from stereotyping and prejudice because you may treat someone differently because of a characteristic they may. Whereas with stereotyping you automatically assume someone is a certain way because of how they may look.

Discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping tend to get confused a lot of times, because people doesn’t know the true meaning of each word.
1.1 Explain what is meant by: Diversity, Equality, Inclusion Diversity means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising our individual differences. These can range from race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or any other identity defining beliefs and characteristics.
