Your responsibilities as an employer
The Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act includes ‘Protected Characteristics’ which are differences between people which cannot be used as reasons to treat them any differently. Doing this would be against the law. The Equality Act also includes ‘Prohibited Conduct’ which are actions that people are not allowed to do to each other on the basis of any of the protected characteristics.
“Protected characteristics include age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation.”

Frequently asked questions
-
Whilst all three words have different meanings, Equality, diversity, and inclusion is all about treating everyone equally and fairly, regardless of their background, age, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, race, gender, if they have a disability, and beliefs. Equality is about providing equal opportunities and protecting people from discrimination. Diversity refers to the differences between people and more importantly, that we recognise those differences, respect them and celebrate them. And finally, inclusion refers to a persons experience within their workplace and the extent to which they feel included and valued. It’s about giving people equal access and most people see inclusion as a human right.

Everyone deserves to be treated equally and with respect in the workplace, but having an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce also has many benefits including better working relationships, greater productivity, increased performance and profitability, attracting and retaining the best talent, better brand reputation and more innovation.
