Summary
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is set to call for the scrapping of the Public Sector Equality Duty, arguing that the rules have become a "minefield" that exposes public decisions to legal challenges. The duty currently requires public bodies in England, Scotland, and Wales to eliminate unlawful discrimination and advance equality of opportunity across protected characteristics including age, disability, race, sex, and sexual orientation.
