Our approach
This duty will help public authorities address inequalities and contribute towards a fairer society. We are helping public authorities use the duty to achieve better outcomes for everyone.
What we are doing in Wales
The Commission has a unique role as regulator of the PSED. Our regulatory approach in Wales is to make the most of this powerful new opportunity to promote equality by:
- Encouraging
- Guiding
- Monitoring
How we are encouraging
Showing how the duty can deliver better outcomes, highlighting and sharing good practice, particularly through our Equality Exchange Network.
