Workshop Overview:

This interactive 1-hour workshop is intended to give members the opportunity to learn about tackling workforce under-representation using the provisions outlined in the Equality Act.. Participants will learn:
  • How to understand under-representation in different contexts and the evidence required to use the Positive Action provisions outlined within the Equality Act 2010
  • Why Positive Action is not the same as Positive Discrimination
  • The difference between pre (s.158) and post (s.159) application Positive Action
  • How and when to use the tie-break scenario, including an overview of what is meant by the “of equal merit” provisions within the Act. We will use real life case studies to explore where organisations may be at risk of getting this wrong.
