Launch of Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 guidance

In July 2013, the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act received Parliamentary approval. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has produced guidance to explain the equality and human rights implications of this legislation, for employers, service providers, schools and religious institutions so that individuals and organisations can understand their rights and responsibilities. There is also a quick guide on the Act which explains the key impact of the legislation through answers to key questions. The guidance can be found on the Commission website. The REC contributed to the guidance for schools and this includes a reference to the Council’s ‘Practice Code for Teachers of RE’.
