The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.
It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:
- Age
- Being or becoming a transsexual person
- Being married or in a civil partnership
- Being pregnant or on maternity leave
- Have a disability
- Race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
- Religion, belief or lack of religion/belief
- Gender
- Sexual orientation
Woking & Sam Beare Hospice is an Equal Opportunities employer and our services are provided fairly and non-discriminatory.
Disability
We have a committee group that works to ensure we are able to be best practice complaint for individuals with a physical disability, learning difficulty, specific learning difficulty or other debilitating condition.
Gender Pay Gap Reporting
The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017 set out a public authority’s gender pay gap reporting duties, which form part of its public sector equality duty under the Equality Act 2010.
