Section 2 outlines our compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty in relation to our workforce and our shared commitment for the Civil Service to become the UK’s most inclusive employer. Section 1 lists the department’s equality objectives and gives an overview of the work that the department has done to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty for our public policies. The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017 requires relevant public bodies, including the Department of Health and Social Care ( DHSC), to publish information at least annually to show how they comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty, and to set and publish equality objectives at least every 4 years.
