Hi again Grandmacath

I know a bit about employment law but I'm not sure about the exact legislation in regard to public bodies. I guess by this they're refering to our rights to health care, council services education etc.

Here's a link to an Easy Read version of the Equality Act if its of any help. The whole Act is a minefield!

6.Stereotyping.

When all people from one population group are assumed to be all the same, all gay men are great dances & all Black people are good runners & all Asian people eat curry.

7. Assumptions.

Quite often assumptions can be made about people that cam be stereotyped to ensure our entire workforce is empowered within their role. We should never make assumptions about staff capabilities, gender, age, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

It was all marked correct Grandma.
