Home Equality impact assessments

Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs) are an accepted method of showing how we have considered the potential effects of our activities on different groups of people.

Carrying out EqIAs enables us to:

  • Examine the impact of services, policies or strategies on people covered by the protected characteristics (race, age, disability, gender, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership). This includes proposals to change services.
  • Identify changes required to reduce any instances of unlawful discrimination through consultation with service users, staff and stakeholders.
  • Meet the requirements of the Equality Framework for Local Government.
