The Equality Act 2010 is a statute which protects individuals from discrimination. It also places a positive duty on public bodies to promote equality between those who have a protected characteristic and those who do not. It means that discrimination or unfair treatment on the basis of certain personal characteristics, such as disability, is now against the law in almost all cases.
