Commentary on Sections Part 2: Discrimination on Grounds of Religion or Belief Section 76: Indirect provision of benefit, &c.
259.Section 76 means that someone who has the power to facilitate access to a service, facility or benefit of any kind is subject to the prohibition in this Part as much as the actual provider of these things. An example would be a social worker who facilitates access to various counselling or welfare services. This provision would make it unlawful for such a person to refuse to facilitate this access to a particular family because of their religion or belief.
