Positive Action
Employers and training bodies can take positive action to help members of under-represented racial groups compete on equal terms with others in the labour market.
An employer or training body may, for example, encourage members of a particular racial group to apply for particular work; or may provide a particular racial group with access to facilities for training to help to fit them for particular work. These provisions apply where a particular racial group is under-represented in that work.
The Order also permits the granting of facilities and services to a particular racial group in order to meet the special needs of persons in that group with regard to their education, training or welfare.
