EHRC produces Equality Act starter kit

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has developed an Equality Act starter kit to help employers and service providers understand the essentials of the law.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has developed an Equality Act starter kit to help employers and service providers understand the essentials of the law. It assumes no prior knowledge and has been designed to ensure that users will find it practical and straightforward.

The Equality Act Starter Kit splits the Act into nine ‘bite-size’ modules, each taking a maximum of ten minutes to complete. Module 1: is entitled ‘What is the Equality Act and who does it apply to?’ Modules 2 to 5 apply to employing people and consists of an overview, day-to-day management of a team, new starters and leavers and flexible working and time off. Modules 6 to 9 apply to service providers, providing an overview, the day-to-day delivery of services, longer-term strategy and planning and positive action.

The EHRC recommends that users start with Module One, which provides an overview of the Act and explains some of the language found elsewhere in this resource. They can then either do each of the remaining Modules in sequence, or skip to the ones they think are most relevant to them. Those wishing to have more in-depth knowledge of the law are recommend to read the relevant Code on the website.
