On 21 October 2004, the Equality and Diversity Forum and JUSTICE hosted a seminar on the Northern Ireland Single Equality Bill Consultation at the offices of Clifford Chance in Canary Wharf, London.
The seminar was addressed by Evelyn Ellis, Professor of Law at Birmingham University and member of the Panel of Experts on the Consultation, and by Evelyn Collins, Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Equality Commission. It was attended by individuals from a range of organisations concerned with equality issues who discussed the Northern Ireland initiative and the extent to which it might be a helpful model for similar legislation in Britain. The response of the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland is available at www.equalityni.org
