EHRC Approved Draft Services Code Laid Before Parliament
After receiving ministerial approval, the EHRC's draft updated Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations was laid before Parliament by the Minister for Women and Equalities. The approved draft Code gives Equality Act 2010 guidance for service providers, public functions and associations, but it had not yet commenced and did not yet have force of law.
Impact & Significance
The laying of the approved draft Code moved the post-For Women Scotland guidance process from interim regulator guidance into formal parliamentary scrutiny, creating a key follow-up point for organisations interpreting Equality Act duties in services and public functions.
