Northern Ireland equality
BIG publishes equality reports for Northern Ireland in line with our legal duties, and to communicate important developments in our equality work
Northern Ireland Equality Scheme 2007-2012
The scheme sets out how we will comply with our legal duties under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act (1998). The final scheme was published in May 2008 and communicated to staff and stakeholders.
Northern Ireland Disability Action Plan 2007-2012
This plan sets out how we will comply with new disability equality duties. The plan will be reviewed and updated annually. We welcome any comments on the plan, which we will be pleased to consider as part of the review process. The Northern Ireland plan is complementary to the UK-wide Joint Race and Disability Equality Scheme.
