The Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 brings together a raft of protections against discrimination and duties for public bodies in a single Act.
The ICB recognise our duties within the Equality Act to:
- Elimination of all unlawful discrimination – including harassment and victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the act.
- Advancing equality of opportunity – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
- Fostering good relations – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
