Equality Act - Oct 2010
Strengthens and extends the protection– new disability definition - beyond ‘impairment’
– any difficulty in carrying out day-to-day activities– claim related to general environment not behaviour
directed at a disabled person– indirect discrimination where a rule, policy condition or
practice disadvantages them– associative discrimination to anyone associated with a
disabled person– any disadvantage that arises from their disability
![Page 4: Julia Taylor - JISC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/5477958db4af9f30558b45ba/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Equality Act - Oct 2010
Opportunity Pro-actively promoting equality
– Avoiding discrimination is no longer enough
Reduce barriers rather than overcome them– Take a fresh look at inclusive practice (OASES)
Reduce cost of ‘supporting’ access– Focus on independence and personalisation
Integrate equality into the mainstream – Actively ‘market’ equality of opportunity
Using technology to support inclusive practice
