Equality guidance for charities

Charity trustees must make sure their charity follows the law, including any legal duties linked to equality. Our Equality guidance for charities in Northern Ireland (available in the sidebar) helps charities understand how equality laws may affect their work, especially when providing services.

The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland oversees equality and discrimination law, and we thank them for their support in developing this guidance.

The Equality Commission’s Unified guide to promoting equal opportunities in employment sets out best‑practice recommendations for employers.If your charity has complex equality issues, you should seek advice directly from the Equality Commission: www.equalityni.org
