The Equality BillThe Equality Bill was published on 27th April 2009 and is now making its way through Parliament. A principal aspiration for the Bill has been to harmonise and simplify existing equality legislation in order to provide individuals, employers, service providers and public bodies with a more straightforward legal approach to addressing equality.
However, during the long process of consultation and discussion of the Bill, its nature has changed and a broader set of aspirations and expectations are in place.
This report looks at what's in the Bill, including implications of the provisions for business, and asks whether the Bill in its current state does indeed define a new approach to help build a fairer society for the future.
