Diversity Training - New Equality Bill
Equality Bill - Implications for Practitioners
Diversity Consultant Jonathan Heath continues to deliver training that incorporates the principle components of the current Equality Bill that is now before Parliament. One of its main features is the extension of the public sector equality duty (currently race, gender and disability) to include:
age, religion or belief and sexual orientation, as well as pregnancy & maternity and gender reassignment; additionally also ‘to reduce the inequalities of outcome which result from socio-economic disadvantage’. The impact on the private sector will come from the much tighter procurement arrangements which will place far greater emphasis on companies and suppliers to the public bodies having to demonstrate good practice. Please visit our resources page for a summary of the Bill.
