Proposed new discrimination legislation for Guernsey

The States of Guernsey has launched a 12 week consultation period for the proposed new discrimination legislation.

The law, which is expected to come into force in 2021 at the earliest, will greatly extend current protections by outlawing discrimination on a wider variety of grounds (including age, race, disability and gender identity) within a broader range of social contexts (not just employment relationships). 

If you would like any help with understanding the implications for your business or coordinating your response to this important consultation please get in touch.
