EHRC Equality Act Starter Kit

Summary: In 2010, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) launched an online starter kit to help ensure that the private, public and voluntary sectors understand their obligations under the new Equality Act.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has launched an online starter kit to help ensure that the private, public and voluntary sectors understand their obligations under the new Equality Act.

The starter kit features nine bite-size learning modules that set out the essential points of the legislation.   Organisations can encourage their employees to work through the modules or can use it as a starting point for their own in-house training.

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. 

The learning modules are one element of the Commission’s starter kit for organisations on the new Equality Act.  More detailed guidance to the new Equality Act is being rolled out by the Commission.  The statutory guidance (“Codes of Practice”) is for legal professionals and can be referred to in legal cases; other guidance (“non-statutory guidance”) is aimed at people who want to know how the law applies in different settings. 

Both the starter kit and guidance are available to download from the Commission’s website here.
