EQUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EQIA)
Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA)
General Information
EQIA is a vital part of NHSGGC’s overall approach to dealing with inequalities and discrimination. It means that services, policies and projects are thought about carefully in terms of their likely impact on different groups of people and on the various aspects of inequality.
The EQIA process ensures that this impact is analysed so that any negative effects on inequality and groups can be reduced and any opportunities for promoting equality can be maximised.
A number of resources have been produced to help the organisation with this process.
