Equality
Impact Assessments (EIAs) are undertaken to demonstrate that the
council has paid ‘due regard’ to the need to eliminate
discrimination, promote equality and foster good relations in all
aspects of its work.
As part of the
council’s ongoing commitment to equality and diversity, managers
are updating these EIAs to identify any further potential impacts
of their proposals included in the Medium Term Financial Plan
(MTFP) on diverse or more vulnerable groups within our
communities.
The initial EIAs
identify a number of areas as having potentially high impact on
diverse or vulnerable groups and this
Summary Report (pdf, Jan 12, 94k)
highlights the main issues in respect of these areas. Full
details are set out in the individual EIAs below.
Progress
to date
| August 2011 |
All areas affected by proposals within the MTFP across the
council prepared an initial EIA. |
| 13 September 2011 |
Members informed of the EIA process, potential high risk areas
were highlighted. |
| October 2011 |
The initial assessments that identified a potential medium
or high impact on service users or staff were subject to an
'internal challenge' workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to
further consider, strengthen and develop the information included
in the EIA and ensure that mitigating actions had been
identified. |
| 14 November 2011 |
Members provided with a further update on progress. |
|
| November 2011 to January 2012 |
Consultation on EIAs took place. |
| January 2012 |
Final assessment published. |
