Questionnaire
Welcome
to NISRA´s Equality Website
This
website has been designed to collate and disseminate
statistics and research relevant to equality of opportunity
and its promotion within the Northern Ireland public
sector.
The driving force for the website is Section 75 of
the Northern Ireland Act (1998). This places an onus
on all public authorities in carrying out their functions
relating to Northern Ireland, to have due regard to
the need to promote equality of opportunity between:
- persons
of different religious belief, political opinion,
racial group, age, marital status or sexual orientation;
- between
men and women generally;
- between
persons with a disability and persons without;
- and
between persons with dependents and persons without.
This
website brings together information from across government
and provides a basis for analysis. Its key service
is the provision of detailed datasets reflecting a
broad range of social and economic circumstances of
the Northern Ireland population presented, where possible,
by the Section 75 categories outlined above.
Datasets specific to Section 75 categories and policy
areas, together with related publications can be accessed
via the “equality data” button on the top
bar. General publications can be found on the “publications”
area of the site. A comprehensive series of relevant
links is also provided.
We
are keen to receive user feedback on the site and
would ask you to send any comments via the “comments”
link above.
