Equality Act 2010: Promoting equality through transparency
Government Equalities Office consultation on the public sector Equality Duty
The Government Equalities Office (GEO) consultation Promoting Equality through Transparency sets out government proposals for the specific duties which will underpin the new public sector Equality Duty of the Equality Act 2010.
The consultation closed on 10 November 2010.
These proposals cover England and some cross-border agencies. The Scottish government, and the Welsh Assembly government are undertaking separate consultations on the specific duties that will apply for Scottish and Welsh higher education institutions. ECU will be responding to these consultations separately.
