· What are “Protected characteristics”?
· What new definitions of discrimination fall within the legislation?
· What are your responsibilities for the behaviours of 3rd parties?
· How does the Equality Act impact on existing legislation?
· Do your existing policies and procedures meet the requirements of the new legislation?
The Equality Act will bring additional responsibilities to organisations in the public, private and 3rd sectors.
Private organisations wishing to contract to public sector commissioners will need to ensure that their own policies and procedures meet the additional requirements placed upon public bodies.
