In 2006, Acas commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies to conduct a qualitative study exploring the experiences and views of employees who had been involved in sexual orientation and religion or belief employment tribunal cases. This document provides a summary of that research.

An over-arching summary is presented followed by findings which draw out the particular experiences of the two groups of claimants. This research was one element of an Acas programme of research on sexual orientation and religion or belief funded by the Department of Trade and Industry.

This IES report helped inform the Acas report, Sexual Orientation and Religion or Belief Discrimination in the Workplace (see related link below).
