This workshop majors on Equality Analysis (Impact Assessment) and Single Equality Schemes (SES) but also provides guidance on how the public sector duties requirements might be best met in time for the compliance date of January 2012.

The introduction of the Equality Act and the requirements within means it is now essential for all Public Sector Bodies and Organisations that receive public funding, or work with organisations that do - including private and voluntary bodies who bid for tenders and other procurement opportunities from the public sector - consider extending their policies, procedures and processes in a way that meets the requirements of the Equality Act. 

This workshop updates participants on the latest requirements of the Equality Act. It explores the implications for organisations and business and demonstrates how the requirements can be met efficiently and effectively without excess burden through the use of Equality Analysis and Single Equality Schemes.   (NB. this workshop includes the core content from our earlier workshop on Equality Impact Assessments Made Easy but is updated to reflect latest terminology, eg Equality Analysis and extended to include coverage of Single Equality Schemes.)

The Equality Act and the most recent Government decisions have, in some areas, re-formulated and/or extended existing protections found in the anti-discrimination legislation previously in force. The Act already embodies new policy initiatives which seek to embed equality and fairness in employment and service provision in both public and private sector organisations.
