Venue: Grange Holborn Hotel, London, England

The aim of the Single Equality Bill is to make Britain a fairer place to live and work by simplifying – and adding provisions to extend protection where it did not previously exist or is inadequate – and thereby improving access to the law by bringing together over a hundred laws and nine major pieces of legislation in to one bill. The bill places a duty on all public bodies to “…consider the diverse needs and requirements of their workforce, and the communities they serve”.

This forum will provide delegates with the opportunity to examine key provisions of the Bill and to discuss whether the provisions in the Bill are comprehensive, clear, proportionate, enforceable and sufficiently rigorous.
