Abstract: |
The Equality Bill will strengthen equality law in England, Wales and Scotland by: introducing a new public sector duty to consider reducing socioeconomic inequalities; putting a new Equality Duty on public bodies; using public procurement to improve equality; banning age discrimination outside the workplace; introducing gender pay and equality reports; extending the scope to use positive action; strengthening the powers of employment tribunals; protecting carers from discrimination; protecting breastfeeding mothers; banning discrimination in private members’ clubs; and strengthening protection from discrimination for disabled people. This document explains how the Bill, supported by other action being taken by the Government and partners, will make Britain a fairer place to live and work now and in the future. |
