The House of Lords is currently debating the Equality Bill, a major piece of legislation which aims to improve and simplify laws on discrimination and equal treatment.  The Bill will strengthen the Equality Statutory Duty on Public Bodies and suppliers through Public Procurement.  

This seminar will provide an overview of what your company will be required to demonstrate as evidence of compliance that  your equality practice meets a contracting authority’s requirement, in addition to raising awareness of equality and diversity and its increasing impact on business.
