Equality impact assessments

Tuesday 24 January 2012, Birmingham

Are you or your organisation looking to develop or deliver new projects?

Do you support groups to develop new projects? If so, have you considered how to assess the equality impact your new project may have on groups and the possibility of discriminatory practices? An equality impact assessment (EQIA) is a practical tool that allows you and the groups you are supporting to identify any negative impact a policy, function, existing or proposed service might have on particular groups, communities or public body staff. EQIAs also promote a more proactive approach to the promotion of equality.

This course on EQIAs will:

● provide an update on expected legislative developments as well as revisiting existing statutory requirements

● explain the methodology, purpose and benefits of EQIAs and when they need to be carried out

● provide you with the tools and understanding to help you undertake an EQIA with voluntary and community groups you are supporting.
