As you probably know by now, the Equality Act 2010 comes into force on the 1st October 2010, and aims to consolidate and harmonise the equality legislation that has built up since the early Nineteen Seventies.
However, some of the provisions which will not yet come into force on the 1st October include:
· the socio-economic duty on public authorities
· dual discrimination, i.e. a right to bring discrimination claims combining protected characteristics
· the requirement on private sector employers to publish gender pay gap information.
· Positive action in recruitment and promotion. .
So when will these provisions come into effect? Watch this space. For more information the basic provisions of the Act, please see our earlier bulletins, or email us today for further information.
