This resource introduces the Equality Act (2010) to learners. It outlines the nine protected characteristics in the Act, highlights the types of discrimination that could be found in the workplace, and explores the possible consequences.
This resource was developed in collaboration with Business Management teaching staff and reviewed by an employment lawyer ahead of publication. The information in this resource pack comes from several published sources, including ACAS, EHRC, and employment law firms’ webpages. We recommend that teachers remain up to date with the latest information when teaching about employment law. This resource will be reviewed and updated to align with developments in employment law.
