CPS Single Equality Scheme 2006-2010

05/12/2006

This Scheme sets out the Disability Equality Actions that will be undertaken by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to meet its statutory duty under the Disability Discrimination Act. The Scheme builds on Crown Prosecution Service Race Equality Scheme 2005-2008 and sets out Gender Equality Actions, in advance of the April 2007 deadline. The Scheme also incorporates equality and diversity actions in respect of age, religion or belief and sexuality and gender identity.

Director of Public Prosecution, Ken Macdonald QC, says,

"My vision for a world class service on equality and diversity delivered through the Single Equality Scheme is part and parcel of my wider vision for CPS. We have identified the overall equality goals and outcomes we aim to achieve. These are at the heart of our Single Equality Scheme."
