Legal support project: transport discrimination claims
------------------------------------------------------
Disabled people and older passengers must be able to enjoy public
transport and travel freely just like everyone else.
Launched this month, our legal support project will use all
available routes to assist with resolving complaints, including
offering advice and help with correspondence, or providing
funding for legal support.
If you provide representation to a disabled or older person who
has had difficulty using, or trying to use, public transport, we
want to hear from you.
We want to reduce gaps in legal protection for those affected and
make sure the needs of disabled and older people are included in
the current and future design of public transport.

Speech: John Cass lecture 2019
------------------------------
'Education builds knowledge and stimulates imagination. Knowledge
reduces fear of difference. Imagination is the root of empathy.
And empathy is the root of tolerance.'
Our Chair, David Isaac, delivered his speech on 25 September,
discussing how the education system can help heal a divided
society.

Gender pay gap reporting: no excuses
------------------------------------
Last month, we achieved 100% compliance on gender pay gap
reporting for employers with 250 or more staff.
Rebecca Hilsenrath's latest blog explains how we reached this
target and talks about some of the recurring reporting themes
that we've identified.

Gypsy and Traveller sites
-------------------------
Our latest report looks at the effects of changes to planning
policy definitions on Gypsies and Travellers.
It warns that people who have stopped travelling due to old age,
ill-health, educational needs or being disabled are being
forgotten in site allocation processes.
