Equality Impact Assessment (EQUIA) is a method or tool for assessing the effects or impacts of a Council policy or function on removing barriers to equality. Research shows that the way organisations do things can have unintentional negative effects on groups of citizens; this is known as institutional discrimination.
EQUIA is a tool for designing out discrimination and removing barriers to equal access and outcomes for people who are members of equality groups. This means when we plan a new service, for example, or review an existing one, or develop policy that we think, as a matter of course, about the range of people who might use that service, or be affected by that policy and what barriers to access we might be creating unintentionally.
