The Equality Delivery System (EDS) helps us improve the services we provide to local communities and helps us provide better working environments for those who work in the NHS, while meeting the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.
From 2022, EDS2022 implementation has been mandatory in the NHS Standard Contract.
At the heart of EDS2022 are 11 outcomes against which NHS organisations and their partners assess and guide themselves. They are grouped under three domains:
Domain one
Commissioned or provided services
Domain two
Workforce health and wellbeing
Domain three
Inclusive leadership

The Equality Act 2010 sets a legal framework for improving equality across the UK. It requires us to:
- eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- advance equality of opportunity between people who share protected characteristics
- foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
In complying with the legislation we publish our equality objectives and share information we review annually to demonstrate our compliance.
