Funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government, The Law Centres Federation produced ‘Pride not prejudice’ in partnership with Southwark Law Centre, Video Art Bankside and Southwark LGBT Network. Members of the community in Southwark contributed significantly to the planning and production of the DVD. 

The method behind the project was that it was to represent the experiences and views of real people, in order to raise awareness in a way that would truly make a difference. To make a community based resource that would aim to make a difference to peoples’ quality of life.

In summary

‘Pride not prejudice’ was produced to raise awareness of the legislation that protects workers from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. It explains the law and describes how it protects people in the workplace and provides information on the options available to deal with discrimination and harassment. 

It is suitable for use in a wide range of settings:

  • Individuals can use the DVD to gain a better understanding of their rights
  • Law Centres and advice organisations can use the DVD to train community-based advisers
  • Employers can use the DVD to raise awareness of diversity issues among their employees and to gain a better understanding of their own responsibilities as employers
  • Law students and lawyers can use the DVD to gain a better understanding of the legislation.
