Requests for help dealing with workplace discrimination have trebled in the last year, according to a charity offering advice and support to people in Guernsey.

Citizens Advice Guernsey's latest report to the States showed the number of people asking for help had risen to 116 in 2024, up from 36, in 2023.

Laws preventing discrimination on the grounds of disability, carer status, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation came into force in September 2023.

Annie Ashmead, the charity's deputy chief executive, told BBC Radio Guernsey the legislation prompted people to come forward.
