The Report gives information on how key areas of the College are mainstreaming equality into everyday life and work and how NESCol is meeting the three needs for which the PSED requires public bodies to have due regard. Using examples, the Report demonstrates the progress the College has made since last reporting in April 2019 on how it is advancing equality through the PSED. The
