Question 2

EQUALITY DUTY: PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE

SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION ON PUBLIC SECTOR EQUALITY DUTY SPECIFIC DUTIES

Question 2: Do you think the criteria set out at paragraph 4.4 are the right criteria for considering whether a public authority should be subject to the new specific duties?

Please note – This is what it says at paragraph 4.4:

“We want to place the specific duties on as many public authorities as possible and to be guided by the following criteria:

- Is the organisation a significant employer, in terms of either size or impact?

- Could the organisation, for example in the decisions it takes or the services it delivers, have a significant effect on the lives of people who are protected under the Equality Duty?

- Does the organisation have significant direct dealings with service users?

- Is the organisation of a sufficient size to operate the specific duties?”

So – do you think these are the right criteria for considering whether a public authority should be subject to the new specific duties?

- YES

- NO

- DON’T KNOW

Please provide any additional comments. For example, why you think the criteria are right or why you think the criteria are not right?
