Public Sector Equality Duty

The Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) came into force in May 2012. This Duty, on all public authorities, has eight components.  These are:

• publish equality outcomes by the 30 April 2013 and report progress every two years
• report on mainstreaming the equality duty by the 30 April 2013, and thereafter every two years
• assess and review policies and practices, ongoing
• gather and use employee information, and publish in the mainstreaming report (if not published elsewhere)
• publish gender pay gap information by the 30 April 2013 and report progress every two years
• publish statements on equal pay by the 30 April 2013, and at four year intervals
• consider award criteria and conditions in relation to public procurement
• publish in a manner that is accessible.

In April 2013 the University's Court agreed the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) paper below.  This paper outlines all the requirements for the PSED.
