Equality Impact Assessment
Equality Impact Assessments are a straightforward way of ensuring that nobody is missed when we design a new policy, procedure or practice.
At the very outset, we take the needs of different groups overtly into account, by undertaking consultation, drawing on research and using data.
The process enables us to look at our proposed actions through different lenses.
We can identify if we are inadvertently going to disadvantage anyone and take action to remove the disadvantage, or at the very least mitigate it.
This process helps us avoid costly mistakes. Our aim is ' right first time'.
If you need to think about the impact of what you do on different groups, contact us and ask us about facilitating a session on Equality Impact Assessment for your business.
