In our latest HR Briefing, we review the new Equality Bill and the impact on employers.

Why we need an Equality Bill?

The aim of the Bill is to harmonise and strengthen discrimination law in order to support progress on equality.

It is hoped that the Bill will streamline the reams of legislation in the area and provide simpler guidance for employers and service providers by bringing together and restating the existing discrimination legislation concerning sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief and age. It will seek to adopt a single approach where appropriate.
