Aims and objectives

With the implementation of a new Equalities PSA, the establishment of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights and a forthcoming Single Equality Duty, the issue of gender equality in the workplace is rapidly rising up the national agenda. All public sector bodies now have a duty to ensure gender equality. Employers can no longer ‘tick the box’, but must implement real, effective measures throughout their organisation.

With the Gender Equality Duty into its second year, Capita’s National Gender Equality in the Public Sector conference will take stock of where we are now and what barriers still need to be overcome.

Attend this one day conference to find out what you need to be doing to meet the challenges of gender equality. Informative plenary sessions will give you updates on current and future policy followed by in-depth case studies giving you practical guidance and insight into ‘what works’ at the grassroots.

This must-attend event gathers together the key stakeholders to provide you with the know-how to put gender equality at the core of you organisation, comply with gender equality law and ensure equality for your workforce and the people it serves.
