Since the formation of this Department in September 2020, a total of two cases have been taken under the Equality Acts. The ground(s) for discrimination under each case is set out in tabular form below:

Year
Ground(s) for Discrimination
2020
Disability
2022
Gender/Family Status/Age/Civil Status

One case did not progress and one case is ongoing.It would not be appropriate to comment further on either case.
