Consultation Overview
The
background to the Gender Equality Scheme is the Equality Act 2006.
The law places a duty on the Council, when carrying out its
policies and functions, to have due regard to the need to eliminate
unlawful discrimination and harassment, and promote equality of
opportunity between men and women. This obligation is the gender

Council will take to meet the gender equality duty and is now
available for consultation. We would welcome your comments which
should be received by 20 July.
