UK Equality Act 2010 for Risk Managers
What does UK Equality Act 2010 require of a Risk Manager?
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 Risk Manager'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.
Which UK Equality Act 2010 controls land on the Risk Manager
Risk Managers identify, assess, and prioritise organisational risks. They build risk registers, conduct risk assessments, define risk appetite, and ensure that compliance frameworks address the most material threats to the organisation.
UK Equality Act 2010 defines 61 controls across 10 domains that directly affect the Risk Manager role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
