... monitoring and all your equality policies, etc to ensure they accurately describe the Equality Act 2010 protected characteristics, particularly after what employment and discrimination Barrister Akua Reindorf said in her report?
I have highlighted many Government ministerial & non-ministerial departments on my website, mostly for using the term 'gender' instead of the protected characteristic of sex in their recruitment monitoring (October 2020):
