Abstract
Legislation is both a way of normatively defining needs and a means of responding to them. The relationship between legislation and social policy is complex and in HIV and Sexual Health work use of legislation is sometimes poor. Practice in statutory and increasingly non-statutory sectors must relate to legislation. A number of areas of law including Health and Safety Law, Childcare, Family Law, Medical Law and Social Services Law have relevance for HIV work. Legislation can be used as a way of promoting better professional practice through training and standard/competency development. The paper discusses the role of legislation in bringing about equality or inequality and provides strategies for workers who wish to use legislation to promote better practice and greater equality in HIV and Sexual Health related work
