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
may be produced, there is no legal requirement for duty assessments to be recorded
in a specific format.</p><p>The department promotes awareness of the requirements
of the Duty and how to comply with them. The department does not collect statistics
