Equality impact assessments (EqIAs)
As part of our work on equality and diversity we have developed
a process to ensure our strategies, policies, programmes and
projects do not have an adverse affect on individuals or groups of
people because of their age, caring responsibilities, disability
status, gender, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation or
transgender status. We assess the likely impact of our work on
these groups as new strategies, policies, programmes, and
projects are being developed, or when existing ones are
reviewed.
The formal process is known as Equality Impact Assessment
(EqIA). Undertaking EqIAs will help us address opportunities to
promote equality of opportunity, tackle disadvantage and
under-representation, and fulfill our commitment to equality as
outlined in our equality schemes. Our staff are supported to
undertake EqIAs with the provision of regular EqIA training
workshops and, specific
guidance and templates which complement our processes and
functions.
