consultation on Equality Bill Codes of Practice
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has commenced
further consultation on draft Codes of Practice relating
to the Equality Bill currently going through Parliament. The Bill
is currently in the committee stage in the House of Lords and is on
course to receive Royal Assent by April. Whilst the draft Codes
will be subject to any changes made by Parliament, the intention of
the EHRC is that the Codes should be available as soon as possible
(they will be laid before Parliament in the summer) to give
employers time to prepare for implementation in October this year.
The three draft Codes being consulted on are on (1) employment, (2)
equal pay and (3) services, public functions and associations. The
consultation closes on 2 April 2010.
