This is the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills's (DIUS) first Single Equality Scheme. It sets out our approach to equality and diversity and identifies the way in which we will take action: as an employer, as a policy department, and as a sponsor of the Further and Higher Education Sectors, and Science and Innovation. In doing so, it recognises the wider impact that we intend to have, as a Department, through out efforts to improve our economic competitiveness and social inclusion.
Launch date: 12 May 2008
Closing date: 4 August 2008
We are consulting on this draft Single Equality Scheme in order that we can engage and involve our staff, stakeholders and partners in both its development and delivery. We would like to invite you to provide comment on the priorities, commitments and detail of the Scheme to help us focus and strengthen our priorities and actions. We will reflect these in the final report.
