Re: Direct and indirect discrimination

My understanding of this is;

Direct Discrimination is when you are being singled out ie you are treated differently because you are pregnant.

Indirect Discrimination is when you fall within a group that is being singled out ie all pregnant people are treated differently and you fall into that group because you are pregnant.

This may help http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4614
