Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (Amendment) Regulations 2003 come into force
Implementation date: 19 July 2003
The Regulations provide that police officers must be treated as
being in the employment of the chief officer for the police force in question
for the purposes of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, section 41. This is to
ensure that the chief officer will be liable for unlawful acts done by officers
of the force in the course of their functions. Other amendments clarify
provisions relating to police authorities and deal with the treatment of a case
where a police officer carries out functions for another force. The Regulations
also prohibit discrimination after employment has ended if the act of
discrimination arises out of and is closely connected to the employment
relationship. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
