Please can anyone clarify for me whether the above Acts are subject to just civil law action or whether there are elements of criminal law involved as well?

Civil - the discrimination claim is brought by an individual through Employment Tribunal or civil court. There is no enforcement body that will prosecute.
The TUC provide an excellent site on the subject - please follow the link below:

Melanie,
Civil for corporate bodies - County Court only (therefore max £50,000 claim). However for breach of ss. 57 & 58 DRC can bring a criminal action against individual employees or agents in Magistrates Court. Maximum penalty is Scale 5 = £5,000.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
David
