The Equality Bill, which is working its way through Parliament, will lay down a general principle to extend public duties to cover all proscribed strands of discrimination.

Thank you to everyone who came to the One Size Doesn’t Fit All Conference. The speakers brought huge expertise on the challenges facing employers when dealing with diversity across age and belief; generating lively panel discussions throughout the day. We were grateful to the EFA members who took part in these panel discussions, giving their time to shape the debate and share their experiences.
We are indebted to our sponsors Centrica and Strudel and extremely grateful to Hamish Elvidge who chaired the day with flair and gravitas. Guardian Jobs, our media sponsor, provided invaluable coverage, giving wide exposure on these timely issues.
