Discrimination and Inclusive Service
Prohibited conduct, client instructions, criteria, accessibility and adjustments under the equality framework applicable to the route.
How to study your four-unit route
Keep England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland rules coherent: one learner takes one national law variant and its matching lettings variant, not every variant together.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Identify the treatment, disadvantage, protected status and applicable national legal framework.
Exam cue: Northern Ireland has a distinct equality-law structure; do not assume one GB statute is the whole UK answer.
Concept 2
An agent must not carry out an unlawful discriminatory instruction from a landlord or other client.
Exam cue: Review individual behaviour and apparently neutral policies separately.
Concept 3
Selection criteria and policies should be relevant, consistently applied and capable of lawful justification where required.
Concept 4
Accessible communication and reasonable adjustments support fair participation in property services.

Offering identical communication where an adjustment is needed for meaningful access.
Guardrail: Check the current Certificate code and national terminology before relying on an old sample paper or another nation's rule.
