Age discrimination is when an employee is unfairly placed at a disadvantage because of their age. This discrimination can happen to anyone regardless of their age, but it is most common in the elderly and young. Age discrimination has been illegal in the UK since 2006, and age is one of the protected parties in The Equality Act (2010).
Mental health discrimination is when someone is treated unfavourably because they suffer from a psychological illness or condition. Many mental health conditions are classed as disabilities, and so form a key part of the Equality Act (2010). These conditions are classed as disabilities when the condition is long-term, or affects their daily activities.
Pregnancy and maternity discrimination happens when you're treated unfairly because you're pregnant, breastfeeding or have recently given birth and are taking time off.
