Integrated Equality Impact Assessments

Integrated Equality Impact Assessments (IEIAs) help us consider whether certain groups may be affected differently by the way we deliver our services. Where there is a risk of disadvantage, we aim to reduce or remove it, whilst also promoting equality and good relations—ensuring fair and equal access for all. SDS’ IEIA brings together requirements and good practice from the following pieces of legislation:

By completing IEIAs and progressing actions which are identified during this process, we can be confident that our policies and the services have considered certain groups/protected groups and are as inclusive as possible.

Further information on our commitments regarding the groups covered within our IEIAs can be found in the following reports:

Our Integrated Equality Impact Assessments are a way of systematically and thoroughly assessing the effects that a proposed or existing policy or practice is likely to have on different protected groups.
