Guides to taking Employment Equality and Equal Status cases
At present, legal aid is not available for employment equality or equal status cases brought before the Workplace Relations Commission. This imbalance needs to be addressed.
That is why we created these guides, designed for anyone taking a case to the Workplace Relations Commission under the Employment Equality Acts and Equal Status Acts.
The guides have been funded under the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Grant Scheme.
Contact us for free legal advice on (01) 8477804.
Employment Equality Acts Guide
The Employment Equality Acts promote equality in the workplace, and protect against discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
Equal Status Acts Guide
The Equal Status Acts promote equality in the access of goods and services, including health, education and accommodation.
