HRi is delighted to be joined by our legal partner Freeths LLP for an update on recent changes to discrimination law.

The Equality Act 2010 protects individuals from being discriminated against in the workplace due to protected characteristics such as; race, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, pregnancy, disability and gender reassignment. The recent landmark decision in Ms R Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover Ltd, found that complex gender identities also fall within the definition of gender reassignment and is therefore a protected characteristic.

Lynne Ingram and Amanda Trewhella of Freeths LLP will discuss how gender fluid & non-binary individuals are protected from discrimination in the workplace, and provide guidance on how to best manage complex gender identities including terminology. They will also provide a helpful recap and update of discrimination law in the workplace including a reminder of the differing types of discrimination,  recent cases and awards.
