The Inverness Citizens Advice Bureau now offers discrimination advice thanks to the appointment of John Gourlay.
Inverness CAB can provide free, impartial, independent and confidential advice on issues of discrimination. Dependant upon the circumstances, discrimination can happen in respect of race, gender/marital status, sexual orientation, disability, age or religion and may apply in employment or access to goods and services.
They have produced a useful guide for people dealing with harassment, discrimination and
victimisation at work because of sexual orientation - click here for the top 10 tips.
