The Government Equalities Office has announced that the Public Sector Equality Duty will be in force from 6 April 2011.

The Equalities Office page has links to the following documents:

• Draft regulations on the specific duties;
• Draft order amending Schedule 19, listing the public bodies to which the duty applies;
• A ‘Quick Start’ guide for Public Sector Organisations;
• Equalities and Human Rights Commission Guidance.

More on this when we’ve had a chance to digest it.
