Explanation
The term "protected characteristics" refers to the categories listed under equality and discrimination law as being protected from discrimination. These are categories that cannot be used as a reason to treat people unfairly. There are nine characteristics protected under the Equality Act 2010 in the UK, which includes age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
