Equality Impact Assessment
Removing any existing and potential barriers to equality is critical to creating an inclusive work and study environment where people feel welcomed, valued, and supported.
We have developed this guidance and the supporting learn - act - measure model to ensure that our colleagues are equipped to fully embed an assessment of equality impact into any decisions, policies or activities that may impact on people, thus ensuring that these are inclusive by design.
Learn: Build and review evidence to develop understanding about the people who make up our University.
Act: Use evidence to evaluate positive and negative equality impact. Promote equality and mitigate adverse impact where possible.
Measure: Conitnually monitor to understand impact once implemented.
