Equality Agenda - Equality Consultation
Section 75 Consultation
In fulfilling the Department's obligations under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act, the Department's Equality Scheme includes a commitment to consult with the Voluntary and Community Sector and General Public on the implementation of existing policy and creation of new policy with regards to equality of opportunity and good relations.
Current consultations are listed on the Front Page of the DRD Internet Web site. Details of policies which have been equality screened and those which have been subject to equality impact assessment (EQIA) can be found, along with other consultations, in the Completed Consultation section on the DRD Internet Web site. Policies that have been screened out as not requiring further EQIA can be found in the Screening out section of the DRD Internet Web site.
The Department has also undertaken to consult on policies subject to equality screening and subsequently screened out as well as producing a bi-annual list of policies which will be subject to consultation in the following six months. Should you wish to be involved in the consultation process for any of the policies listed please contact the Equality Unit by telephone at 02890540850 or by e-mail at equalityunit@drdni.gov.uk.
