Public Sector Equality Duty
Deadline for public authorities
On 5 April 2011 the public sector equality duty came into force in England, Scotland and Wales, replacing the race, disability and gender equality duties. Public authorities in England (and non- devolved bodies in Scotland and Wales) need to prepare for the deadline of 31 January 2012 to publish information to demonstrate compliance with the general equality duty.
The EHRC's Essential Guide to the Equality Duty provides advice on this.
