This describes how officers have considered the Nine Protected Characteristics (age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation) and, especially, how the new strategy or policy might affect someone with one of the Protected Characteristics.
