As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create an equal opportunities policy for your UK business.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open GOV.UK guidance on equality, discrimination and employment, and save the pages relevant to your business as reference material.
   2. Gather your current recruitment, grievance, disciplinary, flexible-working, reasonable-adjustment and whistleblowing procedures, plus the name of the person who owns each process.
   3. Fill in the business details and policy decisions in the prompt, replacing each bracketed slot with your actual information or leaving it as [TO CONFIRM].
   4. Paste the completed prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then ask the model to produce the policy and its separate list of legal and operational checks.
   5. Compare every process described in the draft with your current HR documents, correcting any procedure, contact, role, deadline or escalation route that is not actually available.
   6. Send the draft, the GOV.UK source material and the model's flagged questions to an employment solicitor or qualified HR professional, then publish only the version they approve internally.

   Prompt

   Draft an equal opportunities policy for a UK business using the information below.
   
   Business name: [BUSINESS NAME]
   Business type and sector: [TYPE AND SECTOR]
   Number of workers: [NUMBER OR RANGE]
   Locations and working arrangements: [LOCATIONS, REMOTE, HYBRID OR OFFICE]
   Types of worker: [EMPLOYEES, WORKERS, CONTRACTORS, OTHER]
   Recruitment process: [SHORT DESCRIPTION]
   Existing HR policies: [LIST OR PASTE RELEVANT POLICIES]
   Reporting and complaints process: [SHORT DESCRIPTION]
   Named policy owner: [ROLE]
   Review cycle: [PREFERRED CYCLE]
   
   Write a practical policy in plain British English. Cover the purpose, scope, commitments, recruitment and selection, pay and progression, reasonable adjustments and accessibility, workplace behaviour, training, reporting concerns, handling complaints, victimisation, monitoring, responsibilities, breaches and review. Do not invent facts about the business, legal duties, procedures or dates. Where information is missing, insert a clear [TO CONFIRM] marker and list the missing decision at the end.
   
   Treat this as a draft for a UK business, not professional advice. Do not claim that the policy alone guarantees compliance. Flag every statement or section that needs checking against current GOV.UK guidance, the Equality Act 2010 and our actual procedures. Separate legal or compliance questions from choices that only the business can make. End with a short implementation checklist and a list of points an employment solicitor or qualified HR professional should review before publication.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
