The Race Relations Act 1976 protects you against racial discrimination and harassment. It also gives you the right to challenge unfair treatment in courts or at an employment tribunal.
The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 extends the original act. It makes racial discrimination by organisations that enforce the law, such as the police, unlawful. This law also says that government departments and other public organisations must have policies to promote racial equality.
