These pages provide resources for registrants and learners who may experience or witness discrimination among colleagues, service users or carers in the workplace and in education settings.
Discrimination in any form is unacceptable. None of our registrants should feel unsafe at work or be subject to offensive, discriminatory behaviour.
This resource outlines our standards which make clear the behaviours we expect from the professionals we regulate and our expectations of education providers.
We have signposted to a number of resources that you can access to support you and help you make decisions. We also explain, at a high-level, what you might be able to expect from your employer if you have one.
Throughout this resource, we have included case studies from registrants which we have adapted slightly and with their input for clarity and conciseness.
You may have come across discrimination in one or more of its many forms: for example, ableism, antisemitism, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism and sexism, to name a few. This resource will support you in thinking through how to respond if you witness or experience these or other forms of discrimination in the workplace or in education settings.
