Hampshire CVS – equality support

The Equality Act came into force on 1 October 2010. It brought together many pieces of legislation into one single Act providing a legal framework to protect the rights of individuals and advance equality of opportunity for all. It protects individuals from discrimination and unfair treatment and promotes a fair and more equal society. The Act protects individuals from being discriminated against, and identifies types of discrimination that individuals are protected from.
