The Equality Act 2010 was enacted into law on the 1 October 2010 and came into force in April 2011.
It was written to replace anti-discrimination legislation (such as the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995) with one piece of legislation which makes clear the role of organisations in protecting the rights of individuals against unlawful discrimination.
The aim of this course is to provide dental practices with an understanding of the Equality Act 2010 and how this applies to working in a dental practice.
