The project focuses on 'multiple discrimination' and social exclusion following the introduction of the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003. The research will examine the forms and effects of discrimination, harassment and social exclusion experienced by lesbian, gay and bisexual people at work and in seeking work taking account of any differences by gender, race and age. It will explore their strategies for coping with discrimination, harassment and social exclusion and identify what they think the impact of the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 has been on equal opportunities in the workplace. It will also focus on what employers and trade unions are doing to tackle equal opportunities and social exclusion following the introduction of the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 in order to identify examples of good practice and contribute to the development and delivery of inclusive and productive employment policy and practices.
