Disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 differs slightly from the other forms of discrimination. Under the Act five types of discrimination are covered:
- Direct disability discrimination (which can be objectively justified);
- Indirect disability discrimination (which can be objectively justified);
- Disability related discrimination (i.e. less favourable treatment of a disabled person for a reason related to their disability);
- Failure to make a reasonable adjustment to premises or working conditions for a disabled person; and
- Victimisation.
