Katherine has been invited by the UK Government Equalities Office Board to become a Champion to help with a major initiative which aims to tackle red tape and regulation.
The UK Government recently launched the Red Tape Challenge website to assist with a commitment to reduce the volume of regulation and legislation which hinders business and growth. Whilst Government has no intention of abolishing the Equality Act itself, which was introduced last year, Ministers are keen to ensure that they have got the balance right in terms of the underlying provisions and implementation. Every couple of weeks there is a particular focus on one aspect of legislation. From 9th to 30th June, the spotlight will focus on Equality legislation. If you visit the site, you will notice a considerable degree of debate already.
