Equalities and Diversity

We are committed to mainstreaming equality and will work in a way which meets our responsibilities as a public authority.

We must perform our functions in a manner that encourages equal opportunities and the observance of equal opportunity requirements. We also have responsibilities under equalities legislation, including:

  • Race Relations Act 2000 - race equality duty
  • Disability Discrimination Act 2005 - disability equality duty
  • Equality Act 2006 - gender equality duty.

Our Equality Strategy sets out how we will meet our equality duties and any Equality Impact Assessments we undertake are available here.

OSCR has a BSL plan to make sure we meet the needs of anyone who requires BSL interpretation. Find out about our BSL plan here.
