Throughout this guidance, references to religion or belief or lack of a religion or belief will be covered by the term “belief systems”.

Sexual orientation: Employees must not be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation, whether that be towards: people of the same sex (i.e. the employee is a gay man or a lesbian); people of the opposite sex (i.e. the employee is heterosexual); people of both sexes (i.e. the employee is bisexual).
