The first overarching Equality Scheme fo the Department for Culture, Media and Sport was published on 4 December 2006. Our decision to introduce an equality scheme arises from our belief that all diversity strands are of equal importance and a single scheme reinforces that message.
In addition it is our intention that the department's equality scheme should be a living document, revised and updated on a regular basis to not only comply with new equality legislation but used as a benchmark to measure our progress internally and externally.
