			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Employers need to start preparing for changes to be brought about by the Equality Bill in 2010. The changes will affect all businesses regardless of size and will require them to take positive steps to avoid <a class="glossaryLink" href="http://www.baileyfields.com/glossary/discrimination/" title="Glossary: Discrimination" onmouseover="tooltip.show('Discrimination is prohibited if it is because of someone’s:
•	Age
•	Disability
•	Sex
•	Being pregnant or on maternity leave
•	Race (including ethnic or national origin, nationality and colour)
•	Sexual orientation
•	Religion or belief
•	Gender reassignment
•	Being married or in a civil partnership
If you are an employee and believe that you are being treated differently and you feel it is because of one of the above, please click here.

Discrimination in practice
Discrimination law covers all areas of employment, from before an employee starts work (this would include job adverts and the recruitment process), when an employee is at work (terms and conditions of work and conduct during employment) and at the end of employment (dismissal and any work-related matters arising after employment has ended, such as giving references).
The law protects not only employees but also, among others, agency workers, freelance workers, consultants, partners and directors.

If you are an Employer, an Agency or need advice to ensure that you do not expose your company to the risk of a discrimination claim, please click here.
