Enact the Socio-Economic Duty of the Equality Act 2010.

Petition Details

To enact the Socio-Economic Duty of the Equality Act 2010.
This requires public bodies to consider inequalities resulting from socio-economic disadvantage when making certain decisions. Successive governments have not enacted the Duty.

Additional Information

We think income and wealth inequalities have devastating effects on the lives of the working class in the UK. We think the Equality Act 2010 was a significant step in tackling social and economic inequalities. Chief amongst its measures was the Socio-economic Duty, ‘designed to reduce the inequalities of outcome which result from socio-economic disadvantage’.
We think the unenacted first part of the Equality Act can help initiate a wider change in tackling entrenched class discrimination.
