Recommendation 26
26
Publish Equality Impact Assessment and clarify legal relationship with Equality Act duties.
Recommendation
The Equality Impact Assessment should have been published alongside the Bill to assist parliamentary scrutiny; we look forward to seeing it published as soon as possible. We ask that the Government clarify in that document or elsewhere the intended legal relationship between the clause 18 duty on promoting the interests of disabled people and the anticipatory duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people to access services.
