  Thanks very much for your feedback. Speaking broadly on the issue, we do have a long way to go to achieving fairness and equality at work - there is no doubt about that. I think a positive first step is that we're starting to have open, frank conversations about the issues at play. As I say in my write up, progress is moving slowly, but continuing to encourage and move the conversation forward into action is a helpful step.

  Hi Steven,
  I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through and that your employer is not responding to your messages. Unfortunately we are not in a position to offer advice as this is not within our remit as a publication. However, you could call Acas, which is a helpline offering free and impartial advice to employees and employers.
  Here's the website: http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2042
  Here's the web page on how to make a call: http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3282
  And here is their number: 0300 123 1100
  I hope this helps, and that the issue is smoothly resolved for you.
  Best wishes,
  Becky
