Equality
As an all-island body, safefood is fully committed to observing equality legislation on the island of Ireland, not only as our duty but as a natural expression of the safefood ethos. Our Equality Policy (PDF, 200KB) is designed to reflect best practice on the island of Ireland while reflecting our legal obligations as required by the different jurisdictional legislation.
Our Revised Equality Scheme (as required by S75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998) details how we propose to fulfill our obligations and actively promote equal opportunities and good relations in our dealings with other parties and individuals in Northern Ireland.
The Audit of Inequalities and S75 Action Plan (as required by the Scheme) enhances the effective implementation of our duties.
