Acas Equality Act Guidance and Podcasts

From April the Equality Act 2010 will also cover the new public sector equality duty and an extension to the positive action provisions whereby an employer, in particular circumstances, can take a person’s protected characteristics into account when recruiting.

Acas has released guidance for employers on how the Equality Act impacts them.   It is available online and includes audio recordings discussing key issues such as asking health related questions in job interviews and employer questions around reasonable adjustments.
