The United Kingdom Council for Access and Equality (UKCAE) Pathway
The United Kingdom Council for Access and Equality is formulating through cross-community consultation, a 3-step Pathway that will provide awareness, understanding, knowledge and the necessary skills to enable any organisation to understand the requirements of all equality legislation, and will assist them in adopting procedures and implementing systems that will promote diversity and inclusion and achieve real change in the workplace.
The Pathway will assess, improve and measure change to procedures and practices in order to help businesses meet the on-going challenge of their legal obligations and therefore to implement real, measurable change in the workplace.
The Pathway is unique in that it applies to everyone within an organisation: it is not simply a check-list or best practice benchmark ~ it is an informative learning process designed to actively build skills and knowledge at all levels.
The Pathway will commence upon registration of UKCAE membership and has an in-built audit trail. Each of the three Steps has to be successfully completed before the awarding of the UKCAE Mark.
UKCAE is working with the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) who will formally authorise and recognise the UKCAE Pathway as a standard that can be used for accreditation purposes.

A Framework for Fairness
The recent Government Green Paper, A Framework for Fairness: Proposals for a Single Equality Bill for Great Britain, recognises that business needs a framework to enable it to work towards its legal obligations: "a light touch Equality check tool for employers to use and consider introducing a voluntary equality standard scheme for business, which could be an independently assessed accredited standard or a non-accredited good practice and compliance tool".
