Equalities Sample Clauses
The 'Equalities' clause establishes a commitment by the parties to treat each other fairly and without discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or religion. In practice, this clause may require both parties to comply with relevant anti-discrimination laws and to implement policies that promote equal opportunities in their dealings under the contract. Its core function is to ensure that all parties are held to standards of fairness and inclusivity, thereby reducing the risk of discriminatory practices and fostering a respectful working relationship.

Equalities. The Dundee Partnership has evidenced its commitment to equalities in relevant annual reports and external audits. This will remain a priority for continuous improvement over the next three years and beyond, as we continue to broaden and deepen the Dundee Partnership's agenda and representation to reflect all communities of interest and identity in the city. This will be driven through our Dundee Equality and Diversity Partnership which is currently considering the implications of the Guidance on Equalities to Community Planning Partnerships. An Equality Impact Screening of this SOA has been undertaken by representatives of the Equality and Diversity Partnership. Equality Impact Assessments will be built into SOA implementation to ensure that potential for impact (or opportunities offered) can be addressed.
Equalities. The Community Planning Partnership is fully committed to ensuring the legislative requirements placed on all public service delivery agencies in the Equality Act are met. The partners have in place processes for equality impact assessment (EQIA) to monitor the potential impact of any changes in service planned individually or jointly. In addition the partners have established a forum of specialist agencies operating in the equalities field to act as a critical friend, challenging partners to consider these issues broadly. Within Midlothian the partnership co-funds with the Council an Equalities Engagement post holder. This post holder has worked with a range of members of minority groups across the equalities protected characteristics to set up the Midlothian People’s Equalities Group, which has developed a cross equalities analysis of issues facing minority communities in Midlothian, delivered a learning programme for schools, organised a local MELA (a cross community celebration event), and continues to act as a critical friend to the community planning partners. The decision of the CPP to target actions aimed at closing the outcome gap for residents in the parts of the county identified in the top 20% of SIMD reflects the decision of the Midlothian part of the CPP Equalities forum to retain those affected by poverty as equalities group, despite this being dropped from the national Equality Act 2010 list of protected characteristics groups. Great care will be required to ensure that this geographic focus does not adversely affect members of other protected characteristics population groups. Each step taken to re-allocate resources to geographic target areas will require an EQIA, the formal legally required consideration of how any policy may discriminate against or adversely affect people in ‘protected characteristics groups’. These groups are: • Age (Older people or children and young people) • Disability • Marriage or Civil Partnership • Pregnancy & Maternity • Race • Religion or Belief • Sex (formerly called gender) • Sexual Orientation • Gender re-assignment The Equalities Action plan for Midlothian can be found at: • Midlothian Equality Outcome Report • East Lothian Council Equality Plan Population demographics show that an estimated 13,266 people aged 65 years and over reside within Midlothian.

Equalities. Purpose of this guidance
Equalities. In order to embed compliance with the Race Relations Amendment Act 1976, equalities and diversity issues are considered as part of community cohesion headline challenge. Under development is a specific and agreed countywide outcome for all local authorities to reach equality standards 2 & 3 by an agreed timescale, with a dedicated resource to progress the initiative. More broadly, work is in progress to develop an approach to assist the migrant worker community in the county. The Lincolnshire Community Cohesion Partnership is the core body that will develop and ensure implementation of emerging proposals in this area. The Sustainable Community Strategy, which is delivered by the LAA, has been subjected to an Equalities Impact Assessment, which has been validated by an independent advisor.
