This Tool for a Consultative Approach has been developed as a companion document to the Commission’s guidance: ‘Implementing the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty’. This guidance emphasises the importance of an evidence-based approach to implementing the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty (the Duty) with stakeholder participation as one of the key sources of the evidence required. This tool sets out steps that could be taken to implement a consultative approach to the Duty.
