Want to stay on the right side of the law? We support businesses and public authorities and help them to promote good practice.
 
 

Public authorities

Public authorities have obligations under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act
to ensure that equality of opportunity and good relations are central to policy
making, policy implementation and review, as well as service delivery.

 

Public authorities also have employer and/or service provider
responsibilities not to discriminate, to promote equality
and good practice, and have Section 75 and
disability duties.
