Discrimination is not always direct and is often hard to detect. The claimant must show on a "balance of probabilities" (more likely than not) that adverse or negative treatment happened. The analysis should be flexible and look at all relevant factors in the situation including circumstantial evidence as well as the full impact on the affected person or group. While there may be evidence of "intent," this is not needed to prove discrimination. Gender identity, gender expression or other protected characteristics need only be one of the factors in the negative treatment for discrimination to exist.

Once prima facie discrimination is established, the burden then shifts to the organization or person responsible to either provide a credible non-discriminatory explanation, or justify the conduct or practice using one of the defences available under the Code.

Many trans people are vulnerable to harassment because of their gender identity and gender expression. Trans people also experience harassment that is sexual in nature (sexual harassment) that may be because of their gender identity, gender expression and/or sex.

Gender-based harassment can involve:

• Derogatory language toward trans people or trans communities
• Insults, comments that ridicule, humiliate or demean people because of their gender identity or expression
• Behaviour that "polices and or reinforces traditional heterosexual gender norms"
• Refusing to refer to a person by their self-identified name and proper personal pronoun
• Comments or conduct relating to a perception that a person is not conforming with gender-role stereotypes
• Jokes related to a person's gender identity or expression including those circulated in writing or by email or social media
• Spreading rumours about a person's gender identity or expression including through the Internet
• "Outing" or threatening to "out" someone as trans
• Intrusive comments, questions or insults about a person's body, physical characteristics, gender-related medical procedures, clothing, mannerisms, or other forms of gender expression
• Other threats, unwelcome touching, violence and physical assault.

Gavin Barwell, who was the housing minister before last week's election, took up the role of chief of staff to the prime minister after losing his Croydon constituency seat to Labour.

The review had been ordered by the All-Party Parliamentary Fire Safety & Rescue Group following the deaths of six people in a blaze at a high-rise building in Camberwell, southeast London, in July 2009.

At least six people died in the Grenfell Tower fire which broke out in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Police say they expect the toll to rise and an investigation has been launched into the cause of the blaze.

It is not known whether Grenfell Tower was built to the same specifications as Lanakal House, the Camberwell high-rise.

Speaking on LBC Radio, the group's honorary administrative secretary, Ronnie King, said the Camberwell blaze had not been properly reviewed.

"The All-Party Group were looking at the issue of fire suppression in all the tower blocks with similar designs to this," he said. "And we understand that there are around 4,000 tower blocks that don't have fire sprinklers fitted into them.

"Successive ministers since 2013 have said they are still looking at it. Mr Barwell said he was still looking at it and was preparing to meet with the All-Party group. That's when the election was called and the meeting never happened."

"I am instructed that you previously posted blogs that have in general been critical of everything that takes place at Lancaster West in relation to the Kensington Academy Leisure Centre and investment on the estate," solicitor Vimal Sarna wrote to O'Connor in July 2013.

It then instructs the group to delete the blog - an order the group did not follow.

In 2016, an article on the blog chillingly predicts that only a tragedy would bring serious attention to the tower's problems.

"It is a truly terrifying thought but the Grenfell Action Group firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord, the KCTMO, and bring an end to the dangerous living conditions and neglect of health and safety legislation that they inflict upon their tenants and leaseholders," the post reads.

"It is our conviction that a serious fire in a tower block or similar high density residential property is the most likely reason that those who wield power at the KCTMO will be found out and brought to justice!"

But the scandal seems to reach beyond local council remit, as the Mirror reports that former Housing Minister Brandon Lewis "sat on" information about the several fire risks in buildings such as Grenfell Tower.

According to the newspaper, Lewis did not take action on safety irregularities on tower blocks over 30 meters tall because it could "discourage building." Instead he shrugged off suggestions that sprinklers should be installed in the block. Other ministers are believed to have also known about the damning evidence.

The identity of some of the victims of the Grenfell Tower blaze may never be confirmed, the Metropolitan Police warned on Friday.

The death toll from Wednesday's fire is expected to rise from the confirmed 17 in the coming days, with Met Commander Start Cundy hoping it would not go into "triple figures."

Six bodies have been recovered from what remains of the 24-storey building, with a further 11 known to be located inside that cannot yet be removed. There are likely to be many more.

Fire authorities said they do not expect to find any further survivors in the gutted West London tower.

An official inquiry has been called by Prime Minister Theresa May, but authorities have warned the process could take months.

Firefighters and other rescue teams were forced out of the building on Thursday afternoon as the fire restarted. Many of the victims are thought to have been trapped in upper floors. The area remains inaccessible.

A criminal investigation by Scotland Yard is also under way, after calls for arrests on the basis of 'corporate manslaughter.' Tottenham MP David Lammy was one of those leading the calls.

At least 30 people were confirmed dead by the Metropolitan Police as a result of the blaze that destroyed the 24-storey Grenfell Tower in west London on Wednesday morning. One of those deceased was being held in hospital in critical condition.

At least 24 people are being treated in hospitals across the capital, and twelve of them are in critical care.

Met Commander Stuart Cundy also confirmed that there is no evidence to suggest the "fire was started deliberately." He added that no fires were currently active within the building, but that the building continued to be considered hazardous.

The number of dead is expected to continue to rise. Amid criticism that the authorities are being slow to reveal the true number of people who died in the disaster, Cundy said he would "only say something that I know to be true."

London Fire Brigade Assistant Commissioner Richard Mills confirmed fire service teams would continue the search for the victims on the scene.

He said there are no fires still burning inside the building at this point.

It has proven difficult to confirm how many people are missing, but the Met has put together a special team for concerned families to contact.

Cundy confirmed an "investigation will look in into what criminal offences may have been committed."

Police in London have said 58 people are now presumed dead following this week's devastating fire at Grenfell tower block.

"Sadly at this time, there are 58 people who we have been told were in Grenfell Tower on the night that are missing and therefore sadly I have to assume that they are dead," Commander Stuart Cundy told reporters.

Cundy added that the death toll could rise. The new figure of 58 includes the 30 that had already been announced.
