As a public body we give due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance quality of opportunity and foster good relations between persons who share relevant 바카라 사이트榩rotected characteristics바카라 사이트� and persons who do not. We also have a duty under the 바카라 사이트淎pprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009바카라 사이트� to have regard to the reasonable requirements of relevant students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.

In addition we must give due regard to our equality duties under section 75 of the 바카라 사이트淣orthern Ireland Act 1998바카라 사이트�. This is because we regulate vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland and the 바카라 사이트淓quality Act 2010바카라 사이트� is not applicable to Northern Ireland.

In 2012 we published our Equality Objectives in accordance with the 바카라 사이트淓quality Act 2010바카라 사이트� and the Equality Act 2010 (specific duties) regulations 2011. Our equality objectives support our wider corporate objectives were developed in consultation with internal and external stakeholders. Our equality objectives are:

  1. Regulating to promote good practice in the way qualifications are designed, delivered and assessed.
  2. Promoting equality when we procure goods and services.
  3. Promoting equality in recruiting and employing members of staff.
