Commissioners and providers arereminded that it is their responsibility to implement the guidance, in their local context, in light oftheir duties to avoid unlawful discrimination and to have regard to promoting equality ofopportunity. Nothing in this guidance should be interpreted in a way which would be inconsistentwith compliance with those duties.
