this list are described below:
Human rights' act 1998 -
Happy homes should follow act of human rights in the workings or business operations of
the organisation (Cummings and Worley, 2014 ). This is the company which provide residence
to the people so human rights' act 1998 should be followed by them. This act tells the
1

organisation to treat every people equally who are living in their homes. They can not do any
partiality within people on the basis of their status, colour or age. This act can be used by any
person who is living in UK whether small or big, young or adult, poor or rich (Priola, Lasio and
Serri, 2014). This act protects the people who are badly treated by some person or management
of the organisation. Act of human rights gives the freedom to people, they can choose the right
thing according to their perception. Person can not be forced to do any work without his own
will. A person under this act gets all the freedom to speak, marry, choose religion, have family
life etc. this act also provide protection for property. Gender discrimination is also prohibited
under this act (Csikszentmihalyi and Sawyer, 2014). According to this human rights act if any
person is deprived of his rights or his rights is snatched from him then that person can go to the
court and punish the person who had done bad.
Equality act 2010 -
Equality act should also be followed by the organisation of happy homes. Equality act
carries or contains nine legislations within it which makes this act more powerful. This act
prohibits all the discrimination which is done in UK (Rees and Smith, 2017 ). Equality act 2010
makes the people have benefit of having equal payment of wages whether the person is man or
women, young or old etc. there will no discrimination of sex under this act. Men or women both
will have equal rights in the organisation. The persons who are disabled will also be treated
equally under this act. All the employees in the organisation will get equal opportunities
according to this act. There will no partiality done between the employees of happy homes.
Women will also get same employment opportunities which the men of organisation have got.
This act says that no discrimination can be done with employees on the basis of their age too
(Atkinson and Storey, 2016). So this equality act 2010 prohibits all types of discriminations
which are done within the organisation between members. This act provides all the rights of
fighting discrimination in the premises of the company whether private or public. Any person
who id deprived from any right which is stated in this equality act can go to court and demand
their rights from the person or management who had snatched their rights. Employees can freely
work in happy homes because they are safeguarded by the equality act 2010 ( Priola, Lasio and
Serri, 2014 ). This act helps the management to create safe and secure environment in the
organisation and motivate their employees to work because their rights can not be snatched from
them.

The above list of legislations and above two described legislations states that these laws
are necessarily followed by the organisation of happy homes . Any violation of the above
legislation can lead them to have problem and decrease their reputation in the market.
