Document type: 

Guidance

Date of publication: 

19 January 2010

Summary: 

This document is designed to form a bridge between the wording of the duty, which was published in the Equality Bill in April 2009, and the draft statutory guidance to go with it, on which the government will be consulting in the summer of 2010. It explains the background to the duty, the need for it, and how it will operate for each of the different types of public body that are covered by it. It also explains how compliance with the duty will be monitored, and answers the questions that have been put to the government in its discussions with stakeholders.
