Equality Act 2010 Briefing Note for Clubs
The Equality Act 2010 came into Force on 8th April 2010, and contains some 239 pages, covering the rights of people who (under the terminology of the Act) may well be considered as liable to being discriminated against unfairly. Under earlier incarnations of the act this appeared to relate primarily only to those people who might have been suffering from some physical disability, but the current legislation extends the criteria to inequality being promulgated (or likely to be promulgated) against a much wider section of the community.
