Integrating Equality

The Government’s vision is of an equal, inclusive society where everyone is treated with respect and where there is opportunity for all.

Everyone must be able to play their full part in social and economic life. We need to tackle barriers to participation and change culture so that equal opportunities and equal treatment become a priority for all.

Why does equality matter?

This section looks at how the Government is integrating its ideals of equality into all areas of its own work.

Ensuring equality in policy-making

The WEU is providing a methodology and tools for policy-makers to assess whether their policies will deliver equality of opportunity across the board. More about equality in policy-making

Equality co-ordination across Government

The WEU is tackling equality issues which cut across the full spectrum of Government policy, such as age, disability, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation. More about policy co-ordination

Minority Ethnic Women

How the Women and Equality Unit is ensuring it takes into account issues affecting minority ethnic women, and is ensuring that these are integrated into our work programmes. This section includes information about Black History Month. More about minority ethnic women
