The Government Equality Office has issued ‘Quick Start’ guidance to the disability provisions in the Equality Act. This short guide provides a helpful overview of which disabled people are protected from discrimination and highlights the changes and new features from provisions in the Disability Discrimination. Branch officers may find this a useful guide when representing members on disability discrimination matters.
