"Fair treatment by job training groups"

Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

You cannot be treated unfairly by a group that provides training to help you get a job. This means they cannot refuse to give you training because of certain reasons. They also cannot give you training that is not as good as what they give to others, or stop your training for those reasons.
