Personal Law: Anti-Discrimination - FAQ
What is ‘victimisation?’
- Victimisation occurs when a person is treated badly or threatened with detrimental treatment on the grounds that they have made a complaint about discrimination.
- For example an employer may become aware that an employee is going to file a complaint against them. They may tell the employee that if the complaint goes ahead they will be fired and not given a letter of recommendation. This is victimisation and it is unlawful.
