Discrimination Law Handbook

"Discrimination Law Handbook" is a practical and user-friendly guide. It should be on the desk of anyone who intends to advise or represent claimants as well as anyone who needs to comply with the requirements of anti-discrimination law. Since the publication of the first edition of "Discrimination Law Handbook" there have been major changes to anti-discrimination law, with new definitions and new rights against discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, religion or belief and age.The scope of the Disability Discrimination Act has been increased and public authorities have new positive duties to promote disability equality and gender equality. There is far greater protection from discrimination both in employment and in other areas of people's lives, but never has it been more difficult to understand and advise on the law, scattered as it is in a variety of Acts, regulations, Codes of Practice and Directives. Written by a team of discrimination and law experts, "Discrimination Law Handbook" navigates this complex route map. It is the only fully comprehensive, up-to-date guide to anti-discrimination laws.
It provides an unrivalled blend of authoritative guidance, detailed explanation of UK and EU law and practical, accessible advice.
