Part of the Department for Work and Pensions
The Department published its race, disability and gender equality schemes for 2008-2011 on 29 May 2008 – including one for Jobcentre Plus.
The schemes set out how we will take forward our legal duties and how we will work towards equality for all our customers and staff. They build on the work set out in the Department’s previous schemes and action plans.
Details of the schemes can be found on the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) website.
The DWP website also provides information on how to order other versions and formats of the equality scheme publications.

In November 2007, DWP published its first annual progress reports on disability and gender, the 2007 annual progress report on race, and an update on other aspects of diversity.
