Equality Impact Assessments

St. Leger Homes of Doncaster – Equality Impact Assessments (2007)

St. Leger Homes of Doncaster has carried out Equality Impact Assessments on its services, policies & procedures, as part of the work on the Equality Standard for Local Government.  This includes existing policies, new policies or those which are being changed, using the Equality Standard as the framework for meeting our duties under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 which established a legal duty to carry out Equality Impact Assessments.

What are Equality Impact Assessments?

They are a mechanism for identifying whether or not a policy, service or procedure is likely to have an adverse impact on any particular group of people, particularly in terms of race, disability & gender.  The assessments are designed to identify any adverse impact whether it be intended or unintended and to redress any issues.  They also aim to identify any positive impacts of the policy, inparticular how it creates an opportunity to promote community cohesion and good race relations.

The results of the Equality Impact Assessments are publicised in the form of ‘Equality Action Plans’ that aim to create improvements in service delivery.  They also enable an organisation to highlight the need to consult further with communities of interest.
