Pride not prejudice

‘Pride not prejudice’ focuses on discrimination and harassment at work on the grounds of sexual orientation.  It explains the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) regulations which were introduced in December 2003 and describes how they protect people in the workplace.  It also provides information on the options available to deal with discrimination and harassment. 

At the Launch of the DVD on 18 January 2007, Ben Summerskill, Commissioner of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights and Chief Executive of Stonewall, stated:

“This compelling DVD will help many lesbian, gay and bisexual people give meaning to their new rights at work.  It uses the experience and views of real people to help others develop the skills, confidence and knowledge necessary to take action if faced with discrimination at work.”

The Law Centres Federation produced ‘Pride not prejudice’ in partnership with Southwark Law Centre, and Southwark LGBT Network.  Members of the community in Southwark contributed significantly to the planning and production of the DVD. 

‘Pride not prejudice’ is suitable for use in a wide range of different settings:
 By individuals to gain a better understanding of their rights
 By Law Centres and advice organisations to train community-based advisers, community groups and employers
 By employers to raise awareness of diversity issues among their employees and to gain a better understanding of their own responsibilities as employers
 By law students and lawyers to gain a better understanding of the legislation.
