Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.
From October 2010 it replaced previous anti-discrimination laws with a single Act, making the law easier to understand and strengthening protection in some situations. It sets out the different ways in which it’s unlawful to treat someone.
