Local government equal opportunities officers are systemically important. Without them, it would be impossible to implement and bring to life the constitutional mandate of equality in local government. This book analyses the role and significance of local government equal opportunities officers. It examines their historical development, the legal and organisational framework, and the current challenges and opportunities. The work is based on an empirical study in Lower Saxony and offers valuable insights into the practice of equality work in local authorities. This book is an indispensable work for anyone interested in equality policy, organisational research and the further development of local government.
