The Equality Act brings together nine separate pieces of legislation into one single Act simplifying the law and strengthening it in important ways to help tackle discrimination and inequality. Implementation of the majority of the Equality Act began on 1 October 2010. The Government Equalities Office in partnership with the British Chambers of Commerce, Citizens Advice, ACAS and the Equality and Diversity Forum, produced a series of guides to support implementation of the Act. These guides set out clearly what the new laws will mean for business, the public sector, the voluntary sector and the public, helping people understand their new responsibilities and rights in the work place and when providing or accessing goods or services.

How have the guides been received by individuals and organisations across England? Please take 3 minutes to fill out this short survey, results of which will be sent to the Government Equalities Office. The survey will close on Friday the 2nd September 2011.
