Equality duty
By law, in carrying out our public functions, we must take positive steps to:
- eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- advance equality of opportunities
- foster good relations between those who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
We are required to publish information to demonstrate our compliance with the general equality duty. This includes information about those who share a protected characteristic who are:
- employees
- people affected by our policies or practices
To do this, we use an Equality Impact Analysis process.
This process will identify any impact on people with protected characteristics regarding:
- projects
- proposed service changes
- commissioning
- decommissioning
- policies
