Kemi's equality reform proposals are long overdue

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The core protections in the Equality Act 2010 - against direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation - are entirely separate from the PSED.
53% : But the current framework confuses two very different things: protecting individuals from discrimination and socially engineering statistical outcomes between groups.
52% : These are sensible aims - and they are already hard‑wired into the Equality Act's core prohibitions on direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
52% : The courts do not need an equality duty to recognise blatant discrimination: the substantive law already does that job.
49% : Badenoch's central challenge to this mindset is simple: not all disparities are discrimination.
48% : It tells public bodies that, when exercising their functions, they must have 'due regard' to eliminating discrimination, advancing equality of opportunity and fostering good relations between people with and without protected characteristics such as race, sex, disability or religion.
