How can PSED be used to advance equality for all women?

Dec 16, 2021

In this episode, we look again at the Public Sector Equality Duty in Scotland and discuss how it could be used to advance equality for all women.

Host Alys Mumford is joined by Engender's Policy Manager, Jill Wood, Kirsty McNeill, the Policy and Research Officer at the Coalition for Racial Equality (CRER), and Lindsey Millen, Policy and Development Manager at Close The Gap to discuss all things PSED. 

Resources mentioned in this episode are:

• An example of Jill Wood ripping a (lack of) EQIA into shreds in Engender's response to Local Place Plan regulations p.7-8
• CRER's report "Equality in Glasgow 2021" and blog on the PSED review
• Close the Gap's guidance for public bodies on PSED

• Keeping up to date with the Sheku Bayoh inquiry, including on Aamer Anwar's Twitter
• Black Widow and Dr Who
• (as yet uncreated...PSED TikTok dance)
