Joint equality
The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 (RR(A)A) , Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (DDA) and Equality Act 2006 impose a statutory general duty to promote race, disability and gender equality. The aim of the duty is to make equality central to the way public authorities work, and to put it at the heart of policymaking, service delivery, and employment practice.
