	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2024 answer text <p>Under the Public Sector Equality Duty (the Duty), all public authorities, including Government departments, are required by law to ensure that they have due regard to certain equality considerations when carrying out their functions. While ‘equality impact assessments’ (EIAs) may be produced, there is no legal requirement for duty assessments to be recorded in a specific format.</p><p>The Government Legal Department (GLD) is the Attorney General’s Office’s (AGO) HR shared service provider and is therefore responsible for EIAs at the AGO. In the last five years, GLD has completed four EIAs when making substantive changes to HR policies and procedures (two EIAs in 2021 and two in 2023).</p><p>The AGO has completed no EIAs relating to policy changes. This aligns with its role as a department that does not hold policy in its own right.</p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Robert Courts question first answered 25/01/2024 13:18:39 answering member 4589 label Biography information for Robert Courts
