Equality Impact Assessment

Equality legislation requires the Council to publish equality information and objectives. Impact assessment is a way of thoroughly assessing, and consulting on, the effects that a function, policy or practice is likely to have on groups of people within our community.

The Council has developed Equality Impact Assessments on website pages that link to evidence about a service including user satisfaction, policy documents and performance information.  The impact assessment are live pages that inform our continuous development. 

As part of the screening process every paper presented to the Executive is now screened for impacts in line with our Comprehensive Equality Scheme.
