Reading
• Are you or your organisation looking to develop or deliver new
projects?
• Are you supporting groups to develop new projects?
If so, as part of your best practice have you considered how you
need to assess the impact on equality your new project may have on
groups and the possibility of discriminatory practices? An
effective way of assessing impact is to carry out an equality
impact assessment (EQIA).
EQIAs are a practical tool which 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 you with an update on expected legislative developments
as well as revisiting existing statutory requirements
• Explain the methodology, purpose and benefits of EQIAs and
explain to you 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.
Cost
£49 per person, including VAT.
