The Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requires the minister to pay due regard to the need to:

  • eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act
  • advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
  • foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not

In undertaking the analysis that underpins this document, where applicable, the Department has also considered the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)/ the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
