Conducting Equality Impact Assessments

Overview
An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a means of focusing services or employment practices on the needs of diverse clients and communities or diverse groups of staff.

An EIA is a process of analysing a proposed or existing service, strategy, policy, or project. The aim is to identify any effect or likely effect on different groups within the community. EIAs remain your responsibility whether functions are provided in house or contracted out.

Equality Impact Assessments are concerned with anticipating and identifying the discriminatory or negative consequences for a particular group or sector of the community on the grounds of race, disability, gender, age, religion and belief, and sexual orientation. Information gathered may show that there is over or under-representation by certain groups. Either way this would need to be looked into unless the service is targeted to a specific group. The outcome of an EIA is to make sure that, as far as possible, any negative consequences are eliminated or minimised and opportunities for promoting equality are maximised.
