Direct discrimination
Occurs when a person is treated less favourably than others in similar circumstances because of their race, colour, national or ethnic origin, gender, marital status, disability, sexuality, age or religious belief. It is also discrimination to segregate, harass or victimise people on these grounds.
Indirect discrimination
Means applying conditions or setting requirements or asking for certain qualifications that will adversely affect one particular group more than another and cannot be justified in terms of what is actually required to do the job.
