Discrimination and bullying

Having a disability is known as a protected characteristic. The Equality Act 2010 means that the law protects people with protected characteristics from discrimination and being unfairly treated for being different.

Remember, you have the right to be treated fairly and with respect. Go to this page if you want to know more about your rights and how you can challenge discrimination.
