Taking part in Trinity Chambers' Newcastle 2023 Employment Law Conference, barrister, Richard Stubbs delivered a session entitled:
‘Mind your PCPs’ Identifying Valid & Appropriate Provision, Criterion or Practice in Discrimination Cases.
In discrimination cases and specifically those concerning reasonable adjustment and indirect discrimination claims, an area that is frequently problematic is the identification of a valid and appropriate provision, criterion or practice “PCP”. This talk explores the correct approach to identifying a PCP, and also highlights some common issues to avoid when dealing with these cases. In this talk, Richard covers the following topics:
• What are PCPs and what are they needed for?
• Equality Act 2010
• Indirect Discrimination
• Reasonable Adjustments
• Problems with PCPs
• Case Law
