Course programme

Developments in disability law are changing. The Equality Bill, currently going through parliament, aims to make Britain a fairer place to live and work now and in the future. It also has the potential to deliver real benefits for both disabled people and employers.

This Masterclass will look at the impact of the Bill and any changes to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) that employers must understand and anticipate, including how this will impact the Public Sector's Duty to Promote Disability Equality. It will also update you on these latest tribunal decisions and what this means for employers. It will give you a thorough understanding of your organisation's rights and responsibilities under the Act.

The Masterclass will be led by Bela Gor, Legal Director, Employers' Forum on Disability, who is one of the leading experts on DDA case law in the UK.

You can earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points by attending these events (4.5 hours).
