Equality Act 2010: what does it mean for you?
30th September 2010
The introduction of the Equality Act 2010 tomorrow (October 1) will consolidate and extend existing anti-discrimation legislation, but what does it mean for those working in the voluntary and community sector?
We've compiled a quick overview of the provisions coming into force, complete with links to further guidance on the nine protected characteristics and useful resources for employers.
We're also keen to hear about what challenges you envisage when implementing the new legislation, or if you require additional sector specific guidance on the Act. Please let us know your thoughts via our online discussion - any information you share will help inform how we can best respond to the needs of the sector.
