You can be discriminated against at work because of your religion or belief, or if you don’t have one. Whether this happens intentionally or unintentionally, or as a pattern of behaviour by your employer, it is unlawful. If this has happened to you at work, our religious discrimination solicitors can offer you support and representation.
The Equality Act 2010 lists ‘religion and belief’ as a protected characteristic. This means you’re legally protected against discrimination if you’ve been victimised, bullied or harassed. Whether you’ve been denied a promotion because of your religion or have lost your job, we may be able to help.
We have years of experience helping people who have been discriminated against at work. So whether you’re simply enquiring about your rights, seeking to raise a complaint or wanting to take your employer to court, you can rely on us.

Who Can We Help?
We know that discrimination can have an impact on your career, as well as your relationships and finances. We know it can be a stressful and difficult time. Our lawyers have specialist experience in helping senior executives, directors and professionals who have been discriminated at work because of their religion or belief.
We can help if you’ve been discriminated against because:
- You are (or aren’t) of a particular religion
- You hold (or don’t hold) a particular philosophical belief such as atheism, secularism and humanism
- Someone thinks you’re of a particular religion or belief (discrimination by perception)
- You’re connected to someone who has a particular religion or belief (discrimination by association).
The following are ways you can be affected:
- Direct discrimination – If you’ve been treated unfairly or worse than other workers because of your religion or belief
- Indirect discrimination – When your employer has a rule or policy which instantly puts you at a disadvantage because of your religion or belief
- Victimisation – When you’re being mistreated after making a complaint about the discrimination you’ve faced. This can also happen when supporting someone who has made a complaint.
If you feel you’re being passed over for promotion, are facing dismissal or redundancy or are being forced out of your job, we can help. We work hard to fight your corner and try to reduce the stress that the discrimination can cause.
If you’ve been discriminated against or aren’t sure if you have, call us on 0207 650 3939. We’ll give you the advice you need so you can make the best decision for yourself.
