The Environment and Community Services Cluster is responsible for carrying out Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs) for the following services areas:

Highways and Cleansing Services
Community Safety
Planning and Regeneration
Property Services

Equalities legislation places a duty for public authorities to conduct EqIAs. Similar requirements are also made of local authorities under the Equality Framework for Local Government.

In summary, implementing EqIAs enables the Authority to:

Determine which policies and functions are relevant to the general duties they have under the equalities legislation.
Meet the requirements of the Equality Framework for Local Government
Examine the impact of service delivery and planning arrangements in terms of race, disability, gender, religious belief, sexual orientation and age
Identify changes required to reduce any instances of unlawful discrimination through consultation with service users, staff and stakeholders.
