brap comments on new Equality Bill Print E-mail
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
Commenting on the Equality Bill published yesterday, Joy Warmington, CEO of brap, said:

“While many of the proposals contained in the Equality Bill are welcome, it is important to recognise that legislation is not a magical panacea when it comes to achieving equality.

“The first equality law was passed forty years ago. Since that time, despite nine other major pieces of legislation, we’ve seen only limited progress on equality issues.

“The new Equality Bill has the potential to be more of the same. For example, one of its main proposals is to extend the previous duties on public bodies to promote race, gender, and disability equality to other ‘groups’. While this is welcome, it’s unclear why this should help achieve equality at any faster rate.

“If we are ever to enjoy the benefits of a fair society, we have to change the way we think about equality. Legislation is only part of that process.
