1.Critically examine the arguments surrounding the assertion that the

Equality Act 2010 has proved slow in promoting equality in the workplace

and the reasons behind this claim. Discuss the proposal that if the Public

Sector Equality Duty contained in section 149 were to be extended to

cover private organisations, the progress towards equality in employment

would be more effective.

2. To what extent does the legislative framework for the achievement of

work-life balance succeed in improving equality and non-discrimination in

the workplace? Provide a reasoned analysis for your answer.
