<p>Under the Public Sector Equality 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
may be produced, there is no legal requirement for duty assessments to be recorded
in a specific format.</p><p>In accordance with section 149 of the Equality Act 2010,
the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) ensures that assessment of the equalities impacts of
its policy proposals is integrated in the development, implementation and review of
its policies. We do not keep central records of all our equality assessments undertaken
over the last several years but publish our policy consultation equality assessments
regularly on the MoJ consultation hub which is publicly available on GOV.UK: <a href="https://consult.justice.gov.uk/"
