Stonewall Cymru | 
Comprehensive information on the legal framework, your rights and issues of concern that must be challenged in Great Britain on legal advice is available on the Stonewall website. Click here to visit.
The following information is specific to the Welsh context, legal powers, advice services and policy development.
On this page:
Stonewall has been behind some of the most important legislative changes affecting lesbian, gay and bisexual people in the UK. Although the legislation is changing, there are still cases and victims of discrimination, violence and unfair treatment because of sexual orientation.
While Stonewall can provide information on the current laws affecting LGB people, we cannot provide legal advice and representation to victims of discrimination. What we can do is to help to find some one who does provide legal advice. If you provide legal advice and want to be included on this page, please email us your details.
Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS)
Aims to improve organisations and working life through better employment relations. They provide up-to-date information, independent advice, training and work with employers and employees to solve problems and improve performance. Many individual cases are resolved by ACAS without reaching an employment tribunal.
