The Equality Act 2010 places a ‘general Equality duty’ on public sector organisations to:
- eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Act
- advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
- foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it. The ‘specific duties’ within the Act place a requirement on Public Sector bodies to ‘publish information to demonstrate their compliance with the general Equality duty by 31 January 2012, and at least annually thereafter’.
