Your employment rights

It is against the law for an employer to discriminate against you when applying for a job, or in the workplace, because of race, religion, gender, disability, marital status, social class, age or sexual preference. An employer must also make reasonable adjustments so you are not at a disadvantage in the workplace. Find out more about your employment rights, including disability rights, and see how we can support you at Sussex.

More support

We have partnered with EmployAbility to provide students with disabilities and long-term health conditions with individualised advice and support. The EmployAbility team will also advocate for you with an employer to ensure you receive the adjustments you need.
