1 Demonstrating Due Regard: Rethinking Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) Hazel Conley and Lucy Rees Bristol Business School University of the West of England
2 Introduction The theory of responsive/reflexive legislation and the centrality of civil society engagement PSED, EIA and devolved specific duties Judicial Reviews enforcement or stifled engagement? Conclusions
3 Responsive v Reflexive Law Responsive Law Nonet and Selznick (1978/2001) Relationship between State, Law and Civil Society Repressive, Autonomous and Responsive law Focus on power dynamics, participation and negotiated change Reflexive Law Teubner (1983) Society viewed through a legal lens Formal, Substantive and Reflexive law Focus on legal process
4 Participation, the PSED and Local Democracy Social justice, organizational learning Giving a voice to (electoral) minorities Improving civil society engagement in local democracy/politics Improving equality practice of public authorities Social cohesion
5 EqA 2010 s.149 The General Duty 1) A public authority must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it. s.153 power to impose specific duties devolved to English, Scottish and Welsh Ministers
6 Enforcement s.156 does not confer rights at private law EHRC power to enforce compliance (s.31 Equality Act 2006) Judicial Review can be taken by EHRC (s.30 EA 2006) and individuals or civil society groups with sufficient interest (s. 31(3) Senior Courts Act 1981 (formerly Supreme Court Act 1981)
7 The Role of EIA Mechanism for demonstrating due regard Controversial following David Cameron s announcement that public authorities need not do them but central position in judicial review (i.e. Brown Principles) Should EIA be expert-bureaucratic (reflexive) or participative-democratic (responsive)?
8 Engagement in Specific Duties England None Scotland reasonable steps to involve persons with protected characteristics and their representatives in relation to preparing equality outcomes Wales - requirement to undertake an EIA and to engage with persons with protected characteristics and their representatives and have an interest in the way the authority carries out its functions
9 Assessment Only approx. 50% of English authorities comply with the PSED. English specific duties so weak as to be of questionable relevance (House of Lords Select Committee 2016 pg. 101). Welsh specific duty on engagement has, led to improved and more responsive service delivery and improvements in the level and quality of engagement undertaken (EHRC, 2015: 1) In Scotland EIA is a key element of good policy making, helping to ensure that policies recognise the diversity of people and are shaped around diverse needs and experiences (Scottish Government 2015:15).
10 Outcome Judicial Reviews Difficulty of establishing statistics for JR in relation to PSED The majority of the cases reviewed have at their heart a failure of EIA
11 Year Total number of judicial reviews involving PSED Number of judicial reviews involving PSED in England Number of judicial reviews involving PSED in Wales Number of judicial reviews involving PSED in Scotland Total (93%) 5 (4%) 3 (3%) *These figures are based on data from the BAILII website and a search in the England and Wales and Scottish Courts databases for judicial review and public sector equality duty. *Where a case had been appealed only the case of first instance was included
12 Conclusions PSED needs to be reflexive and responsive Requires strengthening of engagement provisions in specific duties Judicial Review = failure of PSED Stifled engagement? Specific duties that include EIA work better EIA needs to be participatory (democratic) to move away from focus on process (bureaucratic) and qualitatively improved equality practice by public authorities
