The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has published seven guides on the Equality Act 2010 for employers. The guides will come into force on 1 October 2010.
The guides state that:
“This guidance applies to England, Scotland and Wales. It has been aligned with the Codes of Practice on Employment and on Equal Pay. Following this guidance should have the same effect as following the Codes. In other words, if a person or an organisation who has duties under the Equality Act 2010’s provisions on employment and other work situations does what this guidance says they must do, it may help them to avoid an adverse decision by a court in proceedings brought under the Equality Act 2010.”
The guides are available at the EHRC website.
There are also guides on the Equality Act 2010 at the Government Equalities Office website.
