Equality Impact Assessment (EIA)
Equality legislation requires the Council to
publish equality information and objectives. Equality Impact
Assessment is a way of thoroughly assessing, and consulting
on, the effects that a function, policy or procedure is likely to
have on groups of people within our community.
The Council has developed Equality Impact Assessments on our
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.
The Council will carry out an annual EIA for all services as
part of the Service Planning process. All new policies and
strategies will also be assessed along with all Executive Committee
decisions in line with our Comprehensive Equality
Scheme.
EIAs for the following service areas will be published when
available:
- Building Control
- Customer Services
- Environmental Services
- Financial Services
- Governance and Audit
- Housing Services
- Human Resources
- IctCONNECT
- Planning
- Policy & Communications
