We may invite an organisation to develop an Equality Action Plan.
We also have the power to prepare an Equality Action Plan for an organisation.
What is an Equality Action Plan?
An Equality Action Plan sets out the steps an organisation will take to address issues:
- identified in an Equality Review
- relating to equality of opportunity
- an aspect of discrimination.
Equality Action Plans can relate to:
- equality of opportunity generally, or
- a particular aspect of discrimination
An organisation must complete the actions they have committed to in the Equality Action Plan.
If an organisation fails to implement an provision of an Equality Action Plan, we may issue a substantive notice, requiring them to implement the plan. A substantive notice is a formal legal notification that requires a response. If an organisation fails to comply with the notice, it is a criminal offence.
