Police Unlawfully Rejected ‘Exceptional’ Recruit for Being Straight White Male, Tribunal Finds
23 Feb 2019
Cheshire Police abused “positive action†legislation to unlawfully discriminate against an “exceptional†candidate for being a straight white male, an employment tribunal has ruled.
Matthew Furlong, 25, applied to Cheshire Police in order to follow in the footsteps of his father, who is a serving detective inspector on the force — but was ultimately turned down for a role, despite being told “it was refreshing to meet someone as well-prepared as yourself†and that he “could not have done any more†after passing the interview stage of the recruitment process, ITV news reports.
