This webinar will explore the Equality Act protected characteristics, and the recent consultation and rule changes that accompany the SRA’s wellbeing agenda and will consider how far we have come - and how far we may still have to travel - in our attempts to treat all people as equals.


It is presented by Trevor Hellawell, a highly experienced and popular speaker, who will discuss a range of pertinent topics including the basic legal obligations, and what constitutes harassment, victimisation, and unfair treatment of those who have a protected characteristic.
