The Equality Act 2010 is the most significant overhaul of equality legislation in more than 35 years; key provisions came into force on 1st October 2010 and 5th/6th April 2011. Although to some extent, the Act harmonises and simplifies existing legislative anti-discrimination and equality protections, it also introduces new provisions and clarifies the law in important areas.

It is important that public bodies subject to the requirements of the new Public Sector Equality Duty (Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010) and associated specific equality duties are aware of these requirements. This course will provide an opportunity to explore the importance of the new PSED, the new due regard requirements contained in the Public Sector Equality Duty and the new specific equality duties; it will also highlight key trends and lessons from key public sector equality duty legal cases.

If a public body does not comply with the Equality Act 2010, it is possible it may be open to grievances, complaints or even legal challenge from employees, service users, trade unions and/or voluntary and community organisations.

Please note, cancellations can be made up to one week before the session to attend. Anytime after one week then there will be a 20% charge. None attendance will be charged the full amount.
