Key implications of the Equality Act 2010:

• Banning age discrimination in the provision of goods, facilities or services and public functions. Things that benefit older people, such as free bus passes, will still be allowed;
• Increasing transparency in the workplace. If inequality remains hidden, we can’t measure it and make progress;
• Making Britain fairer through a single equality duty, which will require public bodies to consider the diverse needs and requirements of their workforce, and the com munities they serve, when developing employment policies and when planning services;
• Extending positive action measures to allow employers to make their organisation or business more representative;
• Allowing political parties to use all-women shortlists beyond 2015;
• Reducing nine major pieces of legislation, and around 100 statutory instruments into a single Act, making the law more accessible and easier to understand, so that everyone can be clear on their rights and responsibilities.
