Supporting Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual (LGB) Employees

Sexual orientation is one of the nine characteristics protected under the Equality Act 2010. It covers lesbian women, gay men and bisexuals as well as heterosexuals. It does not include transsexuals as this is a separate protected characteristic which will be covered by separate guidance notes.
