We received an updated draft Code of Practice from the EHRC on 13 April. We cannot comment on the contents of the draft Code, however, we intend to lay it in May.

We have always been clear that associations should set their policies in line with the law.

If associations are uncertain as to how to apply the Equality Act 2010, they should obtain specialist legal advice.
