What can I do if I am accused of discriminatory behaviour?

First point of contact for anti-discrimination

Email

If you are accused of behaving in a discriminatory manner, this may initially trigger a defensive reaction in you.

Please bear in mind that those who have experienced discrimination also go through very distressing emotions.

You should therefore start by trying to examine the allegations seriously and impartially. If you are unsure whether your behaviour was discriminatory, contact someone you trust or official bodies such as the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency to seek professional advice.

If you realise that your behaviour was discriminatory, you should apologise to the person concerned and try to change your behaviour. It is important that you do not simply ignore or play down the criticism or accusations.

You should give this serious thought and, if necessary, take appropriate action.
