Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Ravindu's colleague says the rota jokes are "just banter". What is the right view?

 

Intent does not decide it. Conduct linked to race that creates a hostile or offensive environment at work can be unlawful, and the employer may be liable.

Lesson 1, Why this matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which of these is most likely NOT "in private"?

 

A post shared with a group of people is communicated beyond a private setting. A court looks at who could see or hear it.

Lesson 2, What the law says, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

A pharmacy only advertises jobs to staff and their friends. What is the main risk?

 

A neutral practice can disadvantage people who are not in the networks, and that can be indirect discrimination if it is not reasonable.

Lesson 3, Spot it, teaches this. See the outline
