EHRC publishes public sector specific duties guides
The Equality and Human Rights Commission have published three guides relating to the public sector specific duties, which came into force on 10 September 2011, designed to enable public sector bodies to carry out the general equality duty more effectively.
The Equality Act 2010 provides for regulations to be made setting out specific duties to be imposed upon specified public authorities to enable them to carry out the general equality duty prescribed by S.149 of the Equality Act 2010 more effectively and which are contained in the Equality Act (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 which came into force on 10 September 2011. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has now revised three of its guidance documents to reflect the requirements set out in the Regulations. The Guides are: Equality information and the Equality Duty; Equality objectives and the Equality Duty ; and Engagement and the Equality Duty
