Equality Act

Loving senior man holding hands of his wife at park
The Equality Act is there to protect people against discrimination and to ensure that people in the workplace and wider society are treated fairly. The 10 protected characteristics included in the Act cover: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. But it doesn’t protect people with alcohol dependence.
