Publishing equality information: a guide for HEIs in England

The specific duties of the public sector equality duty require higher education institutions (HEIs) in England to:

• publish information to show they are complying with the equality duty
• publish equality objectives.

A review of published equality information undertaken by the Equality and Human Rights Commission found a mixed picture in higher education, and recommended areas to be improved.

This guide outlines the legal requirements and provides key actions to improve HEI performance in meeting them.
