GOALS
Under the Act, disabled people should be treated equally. Protection from

discrimination applies in many situations such as buying or renting property, education, employment, exercise of public functions, goods, services, facilities and transport.
You cannot use the Act against an individual, such as a neighbour who harasses you, but you may be able to report this as a hate crime
The Equality Act does cover harassment by an individual at a place where you work.
If you think you’ve been unfairly discriminated against you can:
complain directly to the person or organisation
use someone else to help you sort it out - for example your union representative
make a claim in a court or tribunal

THE EQUALITY ACT 2010
A new Equality Act came into force on

1 October 2010.

The Act provides a legal framework to protect the rights of individuals and advance equality of opportunity for all.
It provides Britain with a discrimination law which protects individuals from unfair treatment and promotes a fair and more equal society.

PRINCIPLES
If you have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial

and long-term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, you can use the Equality Act to protect you against discrimination in education, work and services provided for you.
It can require employers, colleges, venues and service providers to make reasonable adjustments, provide support and make things accessible.
The Equality Act also protects you if you are discriminated against because of age, sex, sexual orientation, religion and belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership.

STRUCTURE AND CHARACTERISTICS
The Equality Act seeks to incorporate protections against LGBT

discrimination into the federal Civil Rights law. Specifically, it prohibits discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in a wide variety of areas including public accommodations and facilities, education, federal funding, employment, housing, and credit.
It also seeks to expand existing protections for people of color, women, and other minority groups by updating the definition of public accommodations to include places or establishments that provide:
Exhibitions, recreation, exercise, amusement, gatherings, or displays
Goods, services, or programs
Transportation services
