Details

The Public Sector Equality Duty 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 for Work and Pensions has also taken into account the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and in particular Article 19 which recognises the equal right of all disabled people to live in the community. The scheme has the opportunity to positively affect disabled individuals by getting them into work.
