UK Equality Act 2010 for Compliance Officers
What does UK Equality Act 2010 require of a Compliance Officer?
The United Kingdom's consolidated equality statute: nine protected characteristics, the prohibited forms of discrimination, harassment and victimisation, the three-limb duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and the duties it places on service providers, landlords and managers, employers and other work relationships (including equal pay, pay secrecy, gender pay gap reporting and the duty to prevent sexual harassment), schools, colleges and universities (with accessibility plans), associations, contracting parties and public authorities under the public sector equality duty. Under UK Equality Act 2010, which defines 61 controls, a Compliance Officer's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
