Public Sector Duty

Public Sector Duty refers to the responsibility of public organizations, such as government agencies and local authorities, to promote equality and prevent discrimination. This duty requires them to consider the impact of their policies and actions on different groups of people, particularly those with protected characteristics like race, gender, and disability. The aim is to ensure fair treatment and improve services for everyone, ultimately fostering an inclusive society. Public Sector Duty is part of broader equality legislation that helps protect individual rights and promotes diversity in public service delivery.
