<p>Both the Government and the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) have issued
guidance - including in EHRC Statutory Codes - on how employers, service providers
and other organisations can use positive action measures in a proportionate way, to
address under-representation, disadvantage or low participation in activities by people
with specific protected characteristics.</p><p> </p><p>The guidance can be found at
the following links: <a href="https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/equality-act-codes-practice"

Act 2010 and its related guidance under review; however, we have no current plans
to revise the guidance on positive action.</p>
