Equality impact assessments
As a local authority, we have a legal responsibility to make sure that our policies, procedures, and functions do not negatively impact our diverse community.
Equality Impact Assessments (EqIA) offer a framework for this assessment. We think about the impact of each council policy or function across the 9 protected characteristics:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage and civil partnerships
- Pregnancy and maternity
- Race
- Religion and belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
When we identify an adverse (negative) impact, we will try to remove or minimise this impact.
A full list of our completed EqIAs can be found below.
We welcome your view on any of these assessments. If you have any queries/feedback please email equality.schemes@scambs.gov.uk.
