Discrimination - new and developing rights

Overview

In this highly topical webinar, we will review the current equality measures and anticipate the likely future legal developments affecting family friendly rights and gender recognition issues.

We will cover these sensitive discrimination issues, carefully clarifying the distinction between “good practice” short of a legal requirement and actual legal obligation.

We will also look at the ways in which disability rights are being expanded to cover more and more diverse health conditions.

To conclude, we will predict the likely legal developments in these areas.
