Your right to protection from racial discrimination is also protected under legislation.

• Human Rights Act - This provides protection against discrimination in the rights established under the Act
• Equality Act 2010 - This Act provides general legal protection against direct and indirect forms of discrimination, based upon the protected characteristic of race (it also covers other protected grounds, such as sex, disability and sexuality).

The below is quoted directly from the University site, but please do consult LMH Academic Office for further assistance.

• If you wish to uphold religious observances which impact on your ability to sit examinations at particular times, you should speak with your College office at the earliest opportunity and make an initial application for alternative arrangements so that your preferences may be taken into account during the setting of the examination timetable.
• There is no guarantee at this stage that your requirements will be met, but once you receive your individual timetable, if there are any clashes with your religious observance, you may apply to the University for an adjustment to your individual timetable (under Part 12 of the Examination Regulations).

The importance of recognising that individuals can identify with many different liberation groups is crucial. This section covers other points of contact available to you.
