Are they doing their duty? A guide for BAME groups on how to use the Equality Act 2010

In this guide we focus on local councils, although the equalities duties for local councils, and the questions which you may want to ask them, equally apply to other public authorities. Of all local public authorities, councils have the widest range of responsibilities, are often the largest local employer, and provide services used by virtually everyone in the local area. What councils do, or don’t do, to promote equalities affects everyone who lives or works in the local area.
