Review

The public sector equality duty requires HSCIC (as a public body) to have due regard to the need to:

eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act
advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it
foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it

The provisions of the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 require the HSCIC, as a public body, to:

Annually, publish information to demonstrate compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty. This information must include, in particular, information relating to persons who share a relevant protected characteristic who are its employees (provided the organisation has 150 or more employees) and other persons affected by its policies and procedures.
Prepare and publish one or more objectives it thinks it should achieve to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty¹³.

¹³ This was required by 6 April 2013, and is required every four years thereafter.
