Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equalities approach is often criticised for taking a surface-level approach which sees equality as being about policy documents and broad groupings of identity categories. It is also criticised for having a negative perspective which sees equality as being matter of complying with the law rather than being done for its own sake. Often, despite all the policies and laws in place, equalities policies do not guarantee an equality of outcome for the people they are meant to help.
