CONTACT:Equality &amp\; Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Come along and discuss the University’s work on equality and
  diversity and the law.\n\n2010 saw significant developments with regard t
 o progressing equality and diversity within the University.\n\nMost recent
 ly\, the Equality Act 2010\, which received Royal Assent in April 2010 cam
 e into force in October\, harmonised previously disparate areas of equalit
 ies law to create parity across a number of different but equally recognis
 ed 'protected characteristics'. \n\nThe University's Equality Schemes and 
 Action Plans have been updated to produce a Combined Equality Scheme (CES)
  for Race\, Gender and Disability. The CES was developed to enable future 
 inclusion of other equality strands in line with legislative change. \n\nT
 hese developments will shape the future direction of the University's equa
 lity and diversity work. However\, in order to develop comply with the law
  and develop good practice we want to hear your views.\n\n
