What To Do if You Have Been Discriminated Against
Those who feel they may have been discriminated against because of their religion or belief can submit a complaint to an employment tribunal or a county court. However, the burden of proof lies on the employer.
This means that rather than the employee proving there has been discrimination, the employer has to demonstrate s/he has not violated the law - so employers may be held liable, unless they can prove that they took reasonable steps by integrating equality and diversity into everything they do, providing training to staff and carrying out diversity recruitment to prevent discrimination.
