ABSTRACT
The second chapter of this Short Guide analyses the concepts of Equality, Diversity and Discrimination that make up the EDD Agenda. The chapter describes some of the categories (or groups) of people to whom there is likely to be a statutory or duty of care responsibility, and against whom discrimination in employment and in service provision is likely to be unacceptable or illegal. It outlines the typical scope of the application of equality enactments. It summarises some of the forms of discrimination that are commonly to be found in the employment and service arenas, and it describes various types of EDD Risk and Cost.
