3. Legislation
• The Equality Act 2010 gives us a duty to take into
account the need to:
• eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation
• advance equality of opportunity
• foster good relations between different parts of the
community
– This covers, age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or
civil partnership status, pregnancy and motherhood, race
(including ethnic or national origin, colour and nationality),
religion or belief (including lack of belief), sex and sexual
orientation.

4. • Equality of opportunity ‘strives to ensure
individuals and groups have equal access to
the common economic system and to be in a
position to maximise their benefits from it.’
Danny Brierley Joined Up, p117.
• It’s not about denying the differences
between people; rather, it aims to make sure
that all people and groups are given equal
opportunities to succeed.
