Would strengthen equality protections in employment, pensions, education and access to services, including by covering discriminatory job and course advertisements and clarifying when age-based retirement rules may be justified. It would limit the ability of publicly funded religious schools and hospitals to treat workers differently because of religion or conduct, unless strictly necessary to protect their religious ethos. It would also make it unlawful to refuse accommodation because someone receives rent supplement, housing assistance or another social-welfare payment.
