Public sector equality duties in Great Britain consist of a number of legally established goals that state institutions should consider in the execution of their function and which shape the so-called general duty. In Great Britain this duty is reinforced by additional specific duties conducive to achieving the goals of the general duty. Northern Ireland, however, only has general duties. Examples for the goals of the general duty are the promotion of equality of opportunity or the improvement of the interaction between different groups of people. Specific duties for example include the definition of equality goals and their publication as well as the publication of equality data.
