HSE equality objectives
We prepare and publish specific and measurable equality objectives, at least every four years, which help HSE to further the three aims of the Equality Duty.
- HSE will improve understanding and promote equality and diversity in our workforce
- HSE will provide effective delivery of our statutory obligations on equality and diversity, with governance and accountability through HSE’s Inclusion and Diversity group (IDG) supported by senior management diversity champions
- HSE will continue to work with other government departments, agencies and external stakeholders when developing and promoting guidance on health and safety in relation to all protected characteristics
- HSE will continue to build on our effective internal communications, to ensure equality analysis is firmly embedded in our work and consistently built into our policies and key programmes
- HSE will continue with existing inspection and investigation work, offering advice and guidance on equality and diversity issues as necessary
- HSE will consider the need for new and updated website guidance for all protected groups, to provide information on equality issues and increase awareness of diversity-specific messages
- HSE will continue to identify areas where further information is needed, consider the need for and where appropriate, undertake research to help inform the development of policies, procedures and guidance
- HSE will prepare and publish equality objectives, at least every four years, to help HSE further the three aims of the Equality Duty
