Statutory Code of Practice on Racial Equality in Employment The CRE's new statutory code of practice on racial equality in employment took legal effect in England, Scotland and Wales on 6 April 2006. The new code replaced the CRE's original code of practice (the Code of Practice For The Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Promotion of Equality of Opportunity) published in 1984. It is a set of recommendations and guidance on how to avoid unlawful racial discrimination and harassment in employment. It outlines employers' legal obligations under the Race Relations Act 1976 and contains general advice on the policies they will need to safeguard against discrimination and harassment, as well as more detailed recommendations on the procedures and practice that will help ensure fair and equal treatment for everyone.
