Consultation on updates to Services Code of Practice by Equality & Human Rights Commission

The Equality and Human Rights Commission are updating the Code of practice for services, public functions and associations. This covers discrimination, harassment and victimisation in service delivery.

The Commission say:

"The Code has been updated to incorporate our technical guidance on age discrimination (originally published March 2016) and our single sex services guidance (published April 2022).

The updated Code also reflects significant developments in legislation and case law since it was first published in 2011. These developments include case law relating to the definition of disability and the threshold for a philosophical belief to be protected under the Equality Act 2010."
