    BASIC POSITION

    CAUTION: go to notes on Equality Act 2010/changes made by the Act for changes to discrimination law in effect from 1st October 2010. The unique emplaw EA 2010 cross-reference tool will locate new statutory references for you.

    A new general power is given to employment tribunals where a discrimination or harassment claim has been successfully made. The new power is to make a recommendation that the employer should take steps, to be specified by the tribunal, for the benefit of the employer's workforce generally "for the purpose of obviating or reducing the adverse effect of any matter to which the proceedings relate", separately from or as well as making recommendations for the benefit of the individual complainant.

    See also Equality Act 2010/enforcement generally.
