The Single Equalities bill had its first reading in the House of
Commons in April. It follows decades of legislation on sex, race
and disability legislation and the introduction of significant
changes to legislation in the last 12 years including upgraded
maternity and paternity leave, regulations on sexual orientation,
age and religion and belief and the introduction of gender,
disability and race equality duties.
The conference will provide a timely opportunity for an in-depth
critique of the bill. It will bring together some of the finest
academics, trade unionists and legal practitioners, offering
delegates an informed and sympathetic understanding of the latest
developments in the Equalities bill.
Speakers include: Maria Eagle MP; Diana Holland, assistant
general secretary Unite; Prof Aileen McColgan; Victoria Phillips of
Thompsons Solicitors; Liane Venner, Unison; Sarah Veale, TUC; Pat
Campbell, PCS; Prof Mary Davis.
