Government Equalties Office
 
 
  Group of diverse people

To strengthen further the Government's ability to deliver across the entire equalities agenda, a new Government Equalities Office has been established.

 

The Women and Equality Unit has transferred to the new Office together with a number of staff working on equality policy.

What has the Government done for women?

 What has the Government achieved on equality?


 
   Where we are making a difference...

 

 

 
A family

 

To your family

We are helping more people balance their work and home lives by making good quality, affordable, childcare available in every neighbourhood.

To your society

We are ensuring that equality and opportunity for all are into all levels of our society.

 

We have introduced civil partnership and working on other issues relating to sexual orientation.

 

The new Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) will champion equality, diversity, and human rights as defining values of our society, encouraging all our institutions to operate for the benefit of every individual.
