Promoting
Equality and Diversity: A Practitioner's Guide explains the
fundamental changes in the approach to achieving equality and
diversity that are occuring as a result of recent UK legislation.
The work takes a task-based approach to the subject, suggesting
legal solutions to discrete practical problems, and providing
clear, pragmatic guidance to enable practitioners to tackle the
individual problems they might encounter. |
This book provides a clear and practical explanation of both
good practice and the legislation behind the new proactive approach
that is being adopted. It covers areas that receive no treatment
elsewhere and offers guidance to organisations that want to
implement equality measures but are unsure of how to do so. This
book not only explains the relevant legal concepts but also offers
real practical advice on topics such as how to carry out impact
statements; how to carry out equality pay audits; and the role of
monitoring.
By adopting a task-based approach, focusing on what
organisations have to deal with in practice, this work is able to
offer a fully-integrated legal analysis of current discrimination
law that will be of use to every practitioner working in this
field. By combining a traditional legal approach with examples,
checklists, and precedents the authors have produced a book that is
both highly useful and extremely readable.
