Conducting Effective Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs)

This course equips staff with the tools and frameworks to carry out robust EIAs that strengthen fairness and compliance. Policies and practices that fail to consider equity can unintentionally exclude or disadvantage groups.

Description

Legal and ethical responsibilities demand that organisations assess impact on protected groups.

EIAs improve decision-making, reduce risk, and demonstrate organisational accountability.

How it helps investigations

Participants learn to spot risks of exclusion or disproportionate impact, recommend practical adjustments, and embed equity-focused thinking into safeguarding, regulatory, or investigative work.
