What will I learn?

The jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal has grown from a limited administrative role to a forum for enforcing a range of individual rights, including unfair dismissal and discrimination. This course will cover the growth of the Employment Tribunal and employment law, including the shift in focus from collective rights to individual ones. You’ll consider the effectiveness of the individual-enforcement model in the context of discrimination and harassment, covering the limitations of the protected characteristics approach and the role of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. You’ll also explore how employment law can support diversity aims, for example through the gender pay gap requirements.
