Why is it important?
Equality and Inclusion affects us all, whether this is through the access to goods and services or matters relating to employment. Whilst positively and proactively focusing on Equality and Inclusion is the right thing to do, there is also a legal requirement within the Equality Act 2010 to ensure organisations take E&I seriously. This information specifically focuses on the employment elements of Equality and Inclusion, however the content still has relevance on the other aspects relating to goods and services.
