This is general guidance that is not specific to mental ill health but that covers minimising the risk of discrimination, encouraging equality, managing fairly and promoting diversity. It details how discrimination can occur, measures that can be taken to prevent discrimination occurring and how to monitor if the measures are working.   The guidance is written for senior managers, line managers and HR professionals who work in a variety of companies, to help them encourage equality, minimise the risk of discrimination, promote diversity and manage fairly.
