> Indirect discrimination: When you have a rule or policy that applies to evrryone but disadvantages a person with a protected characteristic.
> Harrasment by a third party.
> Victimisation: Discrimination against someone because they have made or supported a complaint.
> Dicrimination by perception: Direct discrimination against someone because others think they have protected characterisic(even if they don't).
