/**
 * UK Equality Act 2010 + ICO-EHRC Joint AI Bias Guidance Pack
 *
 * Statute: Equality Act 2010 (c.15).
 *   - Nine protected characteristics (ss.4–12): age, disability, gender
 *     reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity,
 *     race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation.
 *   - Direct discrimination (s.13), indirect discrimination / disparate
 *     impact (s.19), harassment (s.26), victimisation (s.27).
 *   - Failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability (ss.20–22).
 *   - Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED, s.149): public bodies must have
 *     due regard to eliminating discrimination, advancing equality of
 *     opportunity, and fostering good relations.
 *
 * Guidance: ICO + EHRC joint publication "Artificial intelligence and the
 *   Equality Act 2010" (2024).
 *   - Provides a risk-based AI bias assessment framework.
 *   - Specifies when an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is mandatory
 *     before deploying an AI system in a public-sector context.
 *   - Recommends the 80% rule (4/5ths rule) as an initial screening
 *     threshold for disparate-impact ratio: if the selection rate for a
 *     protected-characteristic group is less than 80% of the rate for the
 *     most-favoured group, the disparity warrants investigation.
 *     (Source: ICO-EHRC joint guidance, 2024; aligns with US EEOC Uniform
 *     Guidelines 29 CFR 1607.4(D) which established the 4/5ths rule.)
 *
 * Why this pack is separate from uk-equality-act:
 *   - uk-equality-act covers the statute broadly (all sectors, all forms
 *     of prohibited conduct).
 *   - This pack targets the AI-specific enforcement layer: quantitative
 *     disparate-impact thresholds, mandatory EIA gates for public-sector
 *     AI deployment, ICO-EHRC joint guidance compliance, BLOCKED verdicts
 *     for AI decisions with a disparate-impact ratio outside the 80% rule,
 *     T2 review for high-bias-risk AI systems, and 7-year audit retention
 *     aligned with UK public-sector record-keeping norms.
 *
 * Jurisdiction: GB (England, Scotland, Wales).
 *   Northern Ireland uses parallel anti-discrimination law — see
 *   ni-equality pack.
 * Authority: EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) + ICO
 *   (Information Commissioner's Office, joint guidance co-author).
 *
 * Retention: 7 years — matches UK public-sector record-keeping norms
 *   (Public Records Act 1958; Cabinet Office retention schedule).
