We use equality impact assessments (EqIAs) to assess the impact of:
- changing a service, policy, strategy or plan
- contracting new services
- planning projects
- anticipating the effects of policies and services on particular groups such as service users, residents, the wider population and employees
- eliminating or minimising any negative consequences as far as possible
- maximising opportunities to promote equality and diversity
EqIAs help us find and remove barriers that might stop people from knowing about services, using them and getting the best from them.
