Single equality scheme 2012-2015

This Scheme is due to be published by the beginning of April 2012. This scheme includes our equality and diversity priorities and objectives for 2012-2015 and provides information on the arrangements that we have in place to meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010. It is supported by an action plan which covers the 9 protected characteristics.

The new public sector equality duty protects people from discrimination on the basis of certain characteristics which are known as protected characteristics. There are 9 protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, sex (gender), and sexual orientation.
