Equality Analysis

An Equality Analysis (EqA), previously called Equality Impact Assessment (EIA), involves gathering and using evidence to make a judgement about how a particular policy or practice or procedure affects, or is likely to affect, different groups of people, or when it is implemented. It is about taking action to ensure that we provide high quality services/facilities/education to all staff, students and visitors on an equitable and lawful basis and to ensure that all staff are aware of their responsibilities for doing this.

In the University's statement of legal compliance, under the Equality Act 2010, we have given a commitment to undertake Equality Analysis for policies, practices and procedures, or other significant courses of action. Guidance has been produced to help staff undertake these. Please contact either Vera Taylor, HR, or Paul Crofts, Equality and Diversity Advisor.
