Call for officials to pilot new equalities duty training
Published By GOV.UK [English], Wed, Jul 27, 2022 6:35 AM
We recently published an article summarising how we can support colleagues working to understand the equalities impacts of policy decisions. We are continuing to develop our equalities offer, and we are now seeking volunteers from across the public sector to help us trial a new equalities duty training session.
We will aim to run the trial in September for up to 20 officials.
The training will cover:
What the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) is and what it requires of organisations
Understanding the evidence base in a policy area
Where to find relevant data
Engaging with experts, including academics, advocacy groups and think tanks
Due to limited space, we will prioritise officials who:
Support teams with equalities considerations, including PSED compliance
Lead on policy areas with a pressing need to consider the impact of policy on different communities
You can register your interest using this online form. If you have any other queries, or would like to commission us to explore the equalities impacts in your policy area, please contact us via
