Launch of Equality Act Non Statutory Guidance

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has written a series of guides to explain people’s rights and responsibilities under the new Equality Act 2010 which comes into effect in October this year. The act brings together lots of different legislation to make equality law simpler and easier to understand.

Two versions of each set of guidance have bene produced, one aimed at people who want advice on their rights and the other at those who have responsibilities under the law.

The guides launched at the end of July cover two key areas of the new act:

· Employment

· Services, Public Functions and Associations
