It forms part of a project funded by the Department for Trade and Industry to raise awareness of legislation which outlaws discrimination in the workplace on the grounds of sexual orientation, religion or belief. The project aims to translate these laws into a peer-friendly format addressing specific concerns young people might have.
Designed to allow users access to information in confidence, the site will also provide advice on the legal minimum wage, health and safety regulations and what to do if you have a grievance, as well as featuring links to more specialist support.

The site was then piloted with young people and those who work with them.
