We will then assess the impact and proportionality of different potential regulatory approaches as part of a consultation, including potential thresholds for regulation.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 05/06/2023 14:03:02 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2023 answer text <p>The Equality Act 2010 states that it is unlawful direct discrimination for an employer to treat a disabled employee less favourably than one who does not have a disability. This would include decisions on promotion within an organisation.</p><p>The 2010 Act additionally places a reasonable adjustment duty on employers that could be relevant to how a promotion exercise is conducted, for example ensuring job application forms are accessible to visually impaired employees and job interviews are accessible to the deaf or hard of hearing.</p><p>The 2010 Act also enables employers to take positive action to increase the number of senior managers who are disabled, where this is disproportionately low. For example, where two candidates are equally qualified for a role and one is disabled, positive action allows the employer to select the disabled candidate.</p><p>Where disabled employees, as defined under the 2010 Act, feel that they have been unfairly passed over for promotion, they may discuss their concerns with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas), which provides authoritative and impartial advice free to employees or employers in relation to employment discrimination issues via their website (http://www.acas.org.uk) and telephone helpline 0300 123 1100 or text relayservice to 18001 0300 123 1100. Acas also provides employees and employers with Early Conciliation to help them resolve/settle their workplace dispute without going to court.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 15/06/2023 15:36:26 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
