<p>The Equality Hub is part of the Cabinet Office, and therefore its work is covered
by the Cabinet Office’s wider Outcome Delivery Plan. All departments’ Outcome Delivery
Plans for the current year were published on 15 July 2021. The Equality Hub’s work
includes development and delivery of specific strategies across government, for example
the National Disability Strategy.</p><p>Each department is responsible for the equality
work relating to their portfolio. This will be reflected in their Outcome Delivery
Plan, Equality Objectives, and other relevant strategies, and equality considerations
will be factored into their wider work in line with the public sector equality duty.</p><p>The
creation of the new Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities reflects
the Government’s commitment to levelling up and will be instrumental in driving forward
the agenda across government, ensuring we are geared up to deliver on our ambitions.
This is a transformative agenda and the Department’s priority is to produce a White
Paper which matches our ambition and which will drive change for years to come. The
links between levelling up and equality work will be even stronger given the Minister
of State for Equalities is now based in that Department.</p>
