The Equality and Human Rights Commission has updated its guidance on adverts, to help support those placing adverts to ensure they are lawful and do not discriminate. The updated guidance provides clarity around "occupational requirements" under the Equality Act 2010, noting that occupational requirement exceptions are sometimes incorrectly applied, particularly where the protected characteristic is sex. The updated guidance clarifies occupational requirements relating to "sex" means legal sex recorded on someone's birth certificate or Gender Recognition Certificate.
