Higher Business Management - Legislation - The Equality Act and the laws it has combined

It is important to note that the Equality Act (2010) now covers nine laws and some of them are in our syllabus.

 

Here they are:

 

Equal Pay Act of 1970

Sex Discrimination Act (1975)

Race Relations Act (1976)

Disability Discrimination Act (1995)

Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations (2003)

Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (2003)

Employment Equality (Age) Regulations (2006)

Equality Act (2006)

Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations of 2007.

 

The ones in italics are the ones which are in the Human Resource Management area of the course. So now the SQA wants you to talk about The Equality Act, and within that broader law you can discuss the elements that used to make up these older acts.

 

We always need to keep up-to-date with real life in Business!
