Consultation details

Views and comments are sought on Food Standards Agency (FSA) Race Equality and Gender Equality Schemes. These schemes describe how we plan to meet the Race Relations (Amendment) Act and the Equality Act.

In particular, the Agency would welcome comments on:

The Agency's first Race Equality Scheme was published in 2002 and the list of functions and policies reviewed in 2005. The current published Race Equality Scheme can be found at the 'See Also' link below. The Agency is now consulting on a revised version for 2008–2011.

The Agency is consulting on its first Gender Equality Scheme for 2007–2010 published on 30 April 2007.

Further information

This consultation has been prepared in accordance with the (External) HM Government Code of Practice on Consultation , which states that a consultation must follow better regulation best practice, including carrying out an Impact Assessment (Regulatory Impact Assessment in Scotland). The assessment is included in the consultation documents.

We are interested in what you thought of this consultation and would therefore welcome your general feedback on both the consultation package and overall consultation process.
