DWP is committed to valuing equality and diversity. The Equality Act 2010 is embedded into all DWP Processes and Policies. However, there is no requirement to publish evidence of Equality Analysis undertaken.

Evidence of Equality Analysis undertaken within DWP is not centrally collated and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
