DEI: Where now? Navigating a safe legal path in challenging times

The evolving landscape for positive action

In this video, Simon Kerr-Davis and Laurie Ollivent discuss how employers can safely use positive action to promote diversity in their workforces, while navigating the risks of unlawful positive discrimination. They discuss why this area is under increased scrutiny, and look at the UK legal framework to give some real-life examples of what amounts to lawful positive action, and what may amount to unlawful positive discrimination.

Positive action vs Positive discrimination

The law in the UK distinguishes between lawful positive action and unlawful positive discrimination, but where to draw the line in practice is not always clear for employers.

Our client publication provides a practical overview of the differences between lawful positive action and unlawful positive discrimination, how employers should navigate the grey area, and explores how employers can promote diversity, equity and inclusion across the employment lifecycle whilst managing the legal risks.
