Advising on race cases 

This section consists of the former Commission for Racial Equality's adviser-focused materials, which were designed to help lay advisers who are approached about a potential race discrimination case at employment tribunal level.

The information provided here should be used as a guide only, and is not intended to be a comprehensive manual on running a case. We advise you to consult the relevant rules of procedure for tribunal hearings.

There is also a page of common questions on which employment situations are covered by the Race Relations Act, called 'Employment: what is covered?'
