We have advised the UK Government that a change to the Equality Act 2010 - so that ‘sex’ means biological sex - could bring clarity in a number of areas, but potential ambiguity in others. We have suggested that they carefully identify and consider the potential implications.

Tackling antisemitism isn’t only about policy and procedure, it must be enabled by a culture that truly reflects zero tolerance of harassment and discrimination of Jewish students. Meaningful action must be taken immediately to implement the recommendations of this investigation.

The human rights we enjoy today have been hard won. Our role is to make sure they remain protected today, and for future generations, so that governments and others fulfil their obligations to uphold rights, and we can all live freely and fairly in a rights-respecting society.

The law is clear; no one should be subjected to harassment or discrimination. As an employer and a public body, the London Fire Brigade must act immediately on the recommendations of this review, to protect its employees and the public from racism, discrimination and harassment.

Several hair discrimination cases have gone to court and we continue to hear of new cases. In schools, hair discrimination can have serious and long-lasting consequences for its young victims. Our new guidance says schools must permit certain hairstyles to comply with the law.

See my blog - inclusive education, done well, can shape inclusive attitudes for life, stop 'othering', support life chances. Great global practices to learn from @ZeroProjectorg @LSEInequalities @EHRCChair @neilmcrowther
"The moment is right to plan longer term for true inclusion." Reflecting on lessons from this year's @ZeroProjectorg conference, @lizsayce's blog identifies how inclusive education can create a more equal society. Read it here ➡️ orlo.uk/6hkIS
