However, if an organisation or employer can show it did everything it could to prevent people who work for it from behaving like that, you will not be able to make a claim for harassment against it, although you could make a claim against the harasser.
Harassment in the workplace occurs when someone makes you feel humiliated, offended or degraded. Indirect discrimination can be permitted if the organisation or employer is able to show that there is a good reason for the policy. This is known as objective justification. Indirect discrimination happens when an organisation has a particular policy or way of working that applies to everyone but which puts people of your sexual orientation at a disadvantage. This happens when someone treats you worse than another person in a similar situation because of your sexual orientation. There are four main types of sexual orientation discrimination.
