Vad betyder aktiva åtgärder mot diskriminering på en svensk arbetsplats, som arbetsgången i bilden visar?
What do active measures against discrimination at a Swedish workplace mean, as illustrated by the process?
Correct answer: Continuously preventing risks of discrimination
Under the rules in October 2026, active measures are ongoing preventive work covering all seven grounds of discrimination. Employers must examine risks, analyse causes, take action and review the results; responding to complaints alone is not enough. Education providers, such as schools, must also take active measures.
