Changes to commencement of PSED general and specific duties
Today (18 March 2011) the Government Equalities Office (GEO) has announced that the government’s draft regulations on the specific duties for England (and non-devolved bodies in Scotland and Wales) are to be revised and therefore will not become law on 6 April, as originally envisaged. The specific duties – which are different for all three nations – are intended to help public authorities meet the general equality duty.
GEO has also announced that the commencement date for the new general equality duty for England, Scotland and Wales will be 5 April 2011. Read the full announcement on the GEO website.
