Public Sector Equality Duty Webinar with Five Paper Barristers and Devonshires

In this webinar we discuss the circumstances in which the Public Sector Equality Duty applies to Housing Associations. We focus on compliance with the PSED in possession claims in the light of recent case law and provide practical guidance on carrying out and evidencing a PSED assessment.
