Direct discrimination For example, you might treat a pupil less favourably because you mistakenly think they're disabled. For instance, you might exclude an autistic pupil from a school trip because you believe that they won't be able to join in the activities. Direct discrimination will always be unlawful.
Examples of such behaviors include but are not limited to: Belittling or humiliation. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ethnic background, age, or physical ability. Disregard for the safety of others. Insults or verbal attacks. Sexual harassment.
