The Law: Equality For All

The Equality Act came into force in October 2010 providing a modern, single legal framework with clear, streamlined law to more effectively tackle disadvantage and discrimination.

The Equality & Human Rights Commission (EHRC) made a submission to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry relating to vulnerable and disabled people, which focused on the following issues:

• the right to life
• cladding
• the need to act quickly
• fire safety
• vulnerable groups
• equality and non-discrimination
• access to participating in the inquiry
