Equality Impact Assessment Template

Equality, diversity, and inclusion are at the heart of our values. 

As an organisation whose sole purpose is to give a strong and powerful voice to people who often go unheard, the Equality Act serves as the minimum for our work.

This requires public authorities and organisations carrying out public functions to consider steps to eliminate unlawful discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between protected groups and others.

Conducting an Equality Impact Assessment for your engagement or research projects is important to help you show your impact.

It is designed to help you show that when your project outcomes are achieved and recommendations have been implemented that this has lead to increased equality and reduced barriers for protected groups and others who experience discrimination or disadvantage; whilst not inadvertently excluding others.
