Equality Impact Assessment (EIA)

Undertaking an EIA provides an opportunity to consider how decisions, policies etc. impact on people or groups of people with protected characteristics. EIA’s also provide the University with an audit trail, enabling the University to demonstrate that its decisions are considerate and fair.

The EIA should be carried out when considering the implementation of a change, or when drafting a new policy, procedure or practice, so that it can be used during the decision-making process.
