EA2 — UK legislation prohibiting discrimination on grounds of nine protected characteristics.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — UK legislation prohibiting discrimination on grounds of nine protected characteristics.
- What it means — The Equality Act 2010 consolidates previous equality legislation and prohibits discrimination, harassment, and victimisation in employment and the provision of services on grounds of nine protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. For employers, the Act creates a proactive duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees (including neurodivergent employees) — this duty arises as soon as the employer knows or ought reasonably to know of the disability. Enforcement is through the Employment Tribunal system. Section 15 (discrimination arising from disability) often applies alongside s.20 in HR processes.
