Equality Scheme

Laws are now in place which are designed to deal with unfair discrimination based on gender, race or disability. The Equality Scheme explains how NHSGGC will uphold the law by addressing inequalities. This means, for example, making sure that services are working well for everyone and that people are getting information in a way they can understand. The Equality Scheme also covers people’s right not to be discriminated against in the workplace on grounds of race, gender, disability, religion and belief, age or sexual orientation.

Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA)

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.

An Equality Impact Assessment Tool has been produced to help the organisation with this process.
