Equality Act 2010 amendment: re dedicated education and anti-ASB provisions
The proposed Amendment to the Equality Act 2010 focuses on specific DfE/education and anti-ASB & anti-discrimination/prejudice focused solutions, regarding improvement of UK Government departments and national agencies operational implementation level delivery of the provisions of the Equality Act.
Covid 19 has for BAME / diverse communities stress tested the Equality Act 2010 protections, consequently exposed as largely not delivering at society, implementation level. A 20%+ anti-Asian (including Gurkhas) increase in racist ASB has been recorded, with a comprehensive picture of anti-ASB & anti-discrimination responses & mechanisms substantially failing in view of those affected: BAME communities have come together to request education-based solutions to remedy this, linked to the Act.
