The Equality Act a Decade on: Achieving Equality through Social Policy

Dr Peter Matthews and Dr Lee Gregory

The Equality Act 2010 was designed to deliver equality in the delivery of public services across the UK. This one-day seminar will explore whether, and how, this has been achieved across a range of different policy areas for LGBT+ people.
Invited speakers will be delivering a short, research-based, presentations exploring what has been achieved and future directions for research and policy followed by a facilitated discussion for all participants to help set a research agenda and establish an LGBT+ network for the Social Policy Association.
