A set of five working files that organise the duties under the Diskrimineringslag (2008:567) into open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.
Included from the Micro level.
Every toolkit in the level is included; nothing is bought one by one.
The businesses it reaches
The Diskrimineringslag (2008:567) reaches employers, education providers, businesses offering goods and services to the public, organisers of public events, and providers of housing and social services. It also governs working life in the broad sense, including recruitment, pay, and the treatment of employees and applicants. The toolkit is a set of five working files that organise this one instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records.
The working files walk through the prohibition of discrimination and the ban on reprisals, the duty to take active measures, the duty to provide information, and the follow-up and evaluation of that work. Each file presents open questions drawn from the headings' subject matter, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty. Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and the documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file.
The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. The questions are answered from the business's own records, and the resulting dated compliance reports give the business a documented basis for its work with the law.

Questions and answers
Which businesses does the Diskrimineringslag (2008:567) apply to?
The law applies to employers, education providers, businesses that offer goods and services to the public, organisers of public events, and providers of housing and social services. It also covers working life in a broad sense, including recruitment, pay, and the treatment of employees and job applicants. A business can use the toolkit to work through the obligations that concern its own activities.
What do the five working files contain?
The working files cover the prohibition of discrimination, the ban on reprisals, the duty to take active measures, the duty to provide information, and the follow-up and evaluation of that work. Each file presents open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty. The files are organised by subject, and the headings show what each one covers.
How are the sections delivered?
The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. The business works through the open questions there, and the documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file.
What does a dated compliance report contain?
A dated compliance report is the document that comes back after the business has answered the open questions in a working file. It records the business's answers from its own records together with the statutory text beside each duty. The business keeps the report in its own file as a dated record of its work.
Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?
The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. The open questions are answered by the business from its own records. The statutory text sits beside each duty so that the business can read the law's own words.
Which obligations concern active measures?
The duty to take active measures concerns the steps a business takes to prevent discrimination and to promote equal treatment in its activities. The working file on active measures presents open questions on those steps, with the statutory text beside each duty. The business answers from its own records, and the answers form part of the dated compliance report.
What does the ban on reprisals cover?
The ban on reprisals concerns the protection of a person who reports or points out discrimination from negative treatment as a result. The working file on reprisals presents open questions on that protection, with the statutory text beside each duty. The business answers from its own records.
What information duties does the law place on a business?
The information duties concern what a business must make known about its work against discrimination. The working file on information presents open questions on those duties, with the statutory text beside each duty. The business answers from its own records, and the answers are kept in the dated compliance report.
How does a business follow up and evaluate its work?
The follow-up and evaluation file presents open questions on how a business reviews its work against discrimination and assesses the results. The business answers from its own records, with the statutory text beside each duty. The answers are recorded in the dated compliance report.
How does a business begin working with the toolkit?
The business opens the sections through a connector inside Claude and starts with the working file that matches its current phase of work. Each file presents open questions that the business answers from its own records. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file.
