It is indirect race discrimination to have a rule, policy or practice which people of a particular racial, ethnic or national group are less likely to be able to meet than other people, and this places them at a disadvantage.
Examples of indirect discrimination might include:
an employer insisting that candidates for a job should have UK qualifications
the banning of wearing headscarves, or insisting on the wearing of skirts, at work or at school
an employer insisting that someone has English as a first language.
If you think that indirect race discrimination might have occurred, you may be able to make a complaint about it. However, if the person or organisation you are complaining about can show that there are genuine reasons for the rule, policy or practice and that it has nothing to do with race, this won't count as discrimination.
