We are in the process of preparing new factsheets and materials to explain the new Equality Act 2010. These will provide information on the new rights, for example discrimination by association and perception, dual discrimination and indirect discrimination.
For current information on the Equality Act 2010, including online and downloadable copies of the full Act, please refer to the Government Equalities Office website.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission is currently working on new Codes of Practice and Guidance and will publish these before Autumn 2010.
