The UK Government's Equality Act 2010 replaced the existing equality legislation and consolidates anti-discrimination laws into a single Act. It simplifies the law and removes inconsistencies making it easier for people to understand and comply with. The Equality Act 2010 is law and applies to everyone, both in the public and private sector.

Equality outcomes

We have agreed fourteen Council Family Equality Outcomes. These outcomes are not meant to encompass all the work to reduce inequality in the city. Instead they reflect what are considered to be the priorities and form a framework on which we will build our equality agenda. Included within the full report on the Council Family Equality Outcomes is a Statement of Intent that summarises our broader commitment to equality.
