This document records the analysis undertaken by the department to enable the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to consider the needs of individuals in their day-to-day work - in shaping policies, making secondary legislation, delivering services, and in relation to their own employees to fulfil the requirements placed on them by the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) as set out in section 149 of the Equality Act 2010.
The PSED requires a public authority to have due regard to the need to:
- eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act
- advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
- foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
In undertaking the analysis that underpins this document, where applicable, the department will take into account the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), and in particular, all three parts of Article 19 of the UNCRPD which recognises the equal rights of all disabled people to live in the community. The programme has the opportunity to positively affect disabled individuals by getting them into work.
