The Equality and Human Rights Commission has released an online starter guide to the Equality Act 2010 for the private, public and voluntary sectors to understand their obligations under the new legislation.

The online guide features nine bite-size learning modules that set out the essential points of the legislation.

Each downloadable module takes less than 10 minutes to complete and no more than an hour to finish all nine sections.

It shows how the Act applies to managing a team; personnel changes; flexible working and time off for employers; and an overview of the law; strategy and planning; and service delivery for service providers.

These are available on the Commission’s website.
