About Wales Public Body Equality Partnership
The Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requires listed bodies to review their existing equality objectives at least every four years.
Equality Objectives are goals that organisations set. Organisations are asked to publish their revised objectives and the steps (action) that they will take to meet them by the 1st April 2020.
In line with recommendations from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and The Welsh Government, several public bodies were keen to work together to agree shared objectives. This has involved the sharing of resource, insight and expertise. The group of bodies known as the ‘Wales Public Body Equality Partnership’ are committed to working together over the long term to deliver joint action to meet the objectives, understanding the collective impact through agreeing transparent outcome measures.
It is hoped that by working together a greater impact will be achieved in the delivery of more equal public services, significantly contributing to tackling inequalities as set out in the 'Is Wales Fairer report, 2018'.
This collaborative work reflects the principles of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act and will directly contribute to the national well-being goal ‘A More Equal Wales’. Throughout the work of the partnership the sustainable development principle and five ways of working will be applied and evidenced.
