Equality Information and Data
Public authorities covered by the specific duties under the Equality Act must publish their information and data to demonstrate their compliance with the general equality duty.
This includes, in particular, information to be published relating to people who share relevant protected characteristics that are:
- affected by its policies and practices, and
- information relating to its employees (for authorities with 150 staff or more)

- set the most appropriate equality objectives and measure progress against them
