As of March this year, new statutory instruments have been made concerning the Equality Act 2010, which make specific Welsh public bodies subject to the public sector duty regarding socio-economic inequalities (referred to as the Socio-economic Inequality Duty) in Wales.
The duty requires prescribed authorities, when "making decisions of a strategic nature" about how to exercise their functions, to have regard to the desirability of exercising them in a way that is designed to reduce the inequalities of outcome resulting from socio-economic disadvantage.
In this session we will cover:
• What is the Socio-economic Inequality Duty?
• Which public bodies does the Duty apply to and why?
• How can those relevant public bodies prepare to comply with the Duty?
• Which type of decisions will be classed as being of a “strategic nature”?
• What is a socio-economic disadvantage?
• Enforcement for non-compliance.
