Document summary

All councils now have a legal duty to promote gender equality. For Lambeth Council, this mean taking steps to:

eliminate unlawful sex discrimination and harassment
promote equality of opportunity between men and women.

This duty applies to:

Policy-making
Decision-making
Service design and delivery
Employment practice
Services and functions the council buys in from other providers.

Lambeth Council wholeheartedly welcomes the new gender equality duty. We see it as a powerful vehicle to address inequality - it signals real change.

Our Gender Equality Scheme 2007/10 sets out what we will do to meet the duty over the next three years.
