Tony Blair's "New Labour"
UK opted into the social provisions of EU law. In 2000, the EU overhauled and introduced new Directives explicitly protecting people with particular sexuality, religion, belief, and age, as well as updating the protection against disability, race, and gender discrimination. -

Equality Act
The act has broadly the same goals as the four major EU Equal Treatment Directives, whose provisions it mirrors and implements. However, the act also offers protection beyond the EU directives, protecting against discrimination based on a person's nationality and citizenship and also extending individuals' rights in areas of life beyond the workplace in religion or belief, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, and gender reassignment.
