Equality Impact Assessments

Skip main menu

Equality Impact Assessments (EIA’s) are a risk assessments that we carry out of all of our services, to make sure that they are not disadvantaging any sections of the population. This we call a negative impact. 

Wherever we find a negative impact we have to:

  • Check whether we can take action to address it
  • Set objectives to address it in our annual Service Plans
  • Make sure that it is being built into staff appraisal objectives.
