Who can be a victim of indirect discrimination?

Indirect discrimination covers a lot of protected characteristics. It applies to disadvantages caused by the following:

  • Age
  • Sex
  • Marriage or civil partnership
  • Disability
  • Sexual orientation
  • Pregnancy and maternity
  • Race
  • Religion or beliefs
  • Gender reassignment
Here's an example...

For example, say Papa John’s pizza needs a delivery driver. Papa John’s states that they want all applicants to have a valid UK motorcycle licence. This is not discriminatory to someone with a disability that affects their driving. This is because this requirement is essential to perform the role.
