In partnership with
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has launched new guidance which is designed to offer clarity on the law around non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).The guidance is intended to inform both employers and employees as to when and how NDAs, which are also referred to as confidentiality agreements, can be used in discrimination cases.Its launch coincided with the second anniversary of the #MeToo campaign and follows the EHRC's 2018 report, 'Turning the tables: ending sexual harassment at work'.By highlighting best practice on the use of NDAs, the guidance encourages greater transparency and a better understanding of the varying types of workplace discrimination, in order that problems can be identified and tackled.
