Disability and Carers Service Equality Schemes
About DWP equality schemes
On 1 December 2006, the Department for Work and Pensions published its first disability and gender equality schemes with an annual progress report on our race equality scheme. To embrace all aspects of diversity and equality, we include our commitments to age, sexual orientation and religion or belief.
You can read an overview of all DWP equality schemes on the main DWP equality schemes pages.
