With major reductions in public spending, public sector organisations will have to make difficult financial decisions.
Your authority has legal duties to eliminate discrimination and promote race, gender and disability equality and good community relations. These duties do not prevent you from making cuts, but provide you with a way of developing proposals which consider the needs of all members of your community.
The Commission has developed the materials in this section to help those delivering public services make decisions which are fair to all.
More information including codes and guidance can be found on the Public Sector Duties section.
