SEUPB - View open consultations and provide feedback to SEUPB
Draft SEUPB Equality Scheme
Deadline for Response: 15th July 2011
Consultation Overview
Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (the Act) requires public authorities, in carrying out their functions relating to Northern Ireland, to have due regard to the need to promote equality of opportunity and regard to the desirability of promoting good relations across a range of categories outlined in the Act.
Public Authorities are also required to produce an Equality Scheme which explains how they intend to fulfil these duties. Our current scheme, which was produced in 2004, is due to be replaced and we have drafted a new scheme based on updated guidance issued by the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland.
The SEUPB is committed to carrying out consultation in a meaningful manner throughout the development and implementation of its statutory equality duties. It therefore welcomes any comments or enquiries in relation to the scheme. Requests for meetings to discuss the scheme will also be accepted. Contact details are provided below.
