a. is this sexual discrimination?
Yes, AFAICT. (www.bailii.org is your fwend, although the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 is elsewhere on the web) It looks like English post-16 education can only discriminate legally if directed to do so by the Secretary of State for Education. IANAL, so go read it yourself or get advice.
Thanks for that link, I havn't seen it before.
d. do you know of any good people to complain to?
Is this a matter for the Equal Ops Commission? Or the Learning and Skills Council? Besides that, nearly all of the ones you mention are worth contacting.
I have already contacted the EOC, they will contact me back tomorrow, and I will be speaking to the LSC in due course.
Thanks Adam
