Discrimination Law In 2012

An authoritative review of the most dynamic area of employment law

Introduction

This unique annual employment law and HR conference will provide you with authoritative guidance on important recent and proposed changes to discrimination legislation. It will also summarise the practical implications of key judgments over the past year, and help you understand what your organisation needs to do to ensure that it is complying with discrimination law.

Discrimination is easily the most dynamic part of our employment law. Each month brings new cases of practical importance for policies and procedures. No employer - or anyone who advises on employment law or equal opportunities - can afford not to keep abreast of these vital changes.

Benefits

The past year has seen the implementation of the remaining parts of the Equality Act 2010, and the first cases under the new legislation are now beginning to come through. It has also seen abolition of the default retirement age. These changes, and their practical implications, will be among the areas explored in detail at this major conference.

2012 is expected to bring further important changes, including:

  • The Government’s response to the consultation on resolving workplace disputes, heralding important changes in the employment tribunal system, is anticipated before this conference
  • The Government has already announced that it plans to introduce fees for bringing discrimination claims, and a consultation setting out details as to how this will work is expected shortly
  • The outcome of the Government’s review of the role of the EHRC and any legislative changes arising out of the Red Tape Challenge is expected as well
