Although the Equality Act 2010 is often viewed as central to the equality laws of the UK, there are other key areas that must also be borne in mind, including atypical worker protection and family friendly regulation: each of these are discussed  to sufficient detail to enable the reader to gain a working understanding of how each operates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn considering each of these key areas this text attempts to decipher and navigate each of them with the end user in mind. The protections, and the thresholds that need to be satisfied to acquire the protections, are broken down into their constituent parts and analysed using key case law and relevant codes of practices with a view to ensuring that their practical use is understood by the reader. Through adopting this approach the book ensures that the reader gets to grips with key concepts that protect on an equality footing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe text takes account of case law from both UK courts, and European Courts where this is needed. This helps show the interaction that UK and EU law has in the area of equality law, and that the systems are interdependent to some extent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those wishing to go beyond the simple practical application of the law the text touches upon  a number of academic debates that exist in the area of equality law, to further stimulate those with an interest in the law, but further to highlight some of the perceived weaknesses that exist with the UK's current approach to equality protection, and whets the appetite for further discussion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of abbreviations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable of authorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
