Discrimination

If you feel that you have been treated unfairly or less favourably than someone else because of a protected characteristic then this could be discrimination.

The Equality Act 2010, sets out nine protected characteristics:

  • age
  • disability
  • gender reassignment
  • marriage and civil partnership
  • pregnancy and maternity
  • race
  • religion or belief
  • sex

Discrimination can happen anywhere and has many different forms. You can find more information, including examples of discrimination, from Race Council Cymru and Diverse Cymru.

Behaviours and standards

The University expects all members of the University community to treat each other with respect, courtesy and consideration at all times. If you have experienced unacceptable behaviour and let us know about this, we can help to address this and take the most appropriate course of action (with your consent and agreement).

This information can also be viewed on the Cardiff University Student Intranet
