Included Features
The Equality Act 2010 is the main piece of legislation covering equality, diversity, harassment, discrimination and victimisation in British workplaces. It’s unlawful to discriminate or treat someone less favourably because of:
These are the nine protected characteristics under the Equality Act. Since we all possess some of these characteristics, everyone is protected against discrimination under the Equality Act.
The Equality Act came into effect from October 2010 providing a modern, single legal framework with clear regulation around tackling disadvantage and discrimination in the workplace. The Equality Act 2010 brings together over 116 separate pieces of legislation into one single Act and provides single a discrimination law which protects individuals from unfair treatment.
The Equality Act 2010 is designed to protect individuals from discrimination. It means that discrimination or unfair treatment on the basis of certain characteristics is against the law. This includes discrimination against someone because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. These are called protected characteristics.
Compliance with this legislation is important and beneficial to organisations. By having standards that organisations need to meet, there is a consistency throughout recruitment and hiring processes. Promoting equality and diversity in the workplace also means that businesses gain a flexible and adaptive corporate culture by accessing a broader variety of worldviews and problem-solving skills.
