Victimisation

The Equality Act 2010 states:

A person (A) victimises another person (B) if A subjects B to a detriment because—

• B does a protected act, or
• A believes that B has done, or may do, a protected act.

Each of the following is a protected act—

• bringing proceedings under this Act;
• giving evidence or information in connection with proceedings under this Act;
• doing any other thing for the purposes of or in connection with this Act;
• making an allegation (whether or not express) that A or another person has contravened this Act.
