Using the Equality Act 2010: Rights and Remedies for Disabled People

Tuesday 8th June | 3pm

Continuing our series of events to mark 10 years of the Equality Act 2010, this will be an introductory level webinar for disabled people and their representative organisations to gain an understanding of various forms of disability-based discrimination. The speakers will cover direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, failure to provide reasonable accommodation, harassment and victimisation.

Each will be illustrated by a case-study. The speakers will also outline non-discrimination provisions in the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which the UK ratified in 2009.

Speakers: Oliver LewisSarah SteinhardtAlice Irving
