Public bodies failing to deliver on equality

A Holyrood committee has reported that public bodies are failing to deliver on their duties of advancing equality

A Holyrood committee has reported that public bodies are failing to deliver on their duties of advancing equality of opportunity in Scotland.

The report-from the equalities, human rights and civil justice committee-said there was also a failure to foster good relations between different groups.

Following the passing of the UK Equality Act in 2010, public bodies and organisations are legally required to implement the"public sector equality duty".

It aims to make sure that these bodies and organisations think about how they can improve society and promote equality.
