Race Equality

Race is one of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

It is unlawful for a person to discriminate on racial grounds against another person. For the purposes of the Act ‘race’ includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins. A racial group can be made up of two or more different racial groups (eg Black Britons). (ACAS July 2010)
