All councils are required to produce a Gender Equality Scheme under the Equality Act 2006. The Equality Act 2006 amends the Sex Discrimination Act to place a statutory duty on all public authorities, when carrying out their functions, to have due regard to the need to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination and harassment
- Promote equality of opportunity between men and women
The purpose of the Gender Equality Scheme is to set out the Council's approach to planning and delivering gender equality, and to evaluating progress towards the objectives set out in the Gender Equality Scheme Action Plan.
