Equality Impact Assessments
Council wide
The Council has developed a way to assess reports for the following policy implications prior to submission to Committee:
- Equality & Diversity
- Fairness & Poverty
- Environment
- Corporate Risk
By bringing together these separate policy implications into one integrated it will allow the Council to:
- Demonstrate that report authors have considered all likely impacts of their report and provided details on any required mitigation action to overcome negative impacts
- Enhance consideration of legal requirements prior to the report being submitted to Committee and raise awareness in staff of these issues.
- Enable Elected Members to review and interrogate the implications of proposals prior to Committee.
