Government launches 'Equality Direct'

The government has today launched 'Equality Direct' - an information and advice service for businesses on a whole range of equality issues such as providing better access for disabled people or equal pay. The telephone advice centre and supporting website will help employers resolve management issues, offer information and advice on both good practice and the law and provide information on effective equal opportunities strategies.

The service is provided in collaboration with DLA.

It can be reached via 0845 600 3444 or, apparently, via www.equalitydirect.org.uk (although when I tried at 2.00pm, it stated the website was 'under development').
