Equality Impact Assessments
From the job role of one to the job role of everyone

Intended audience:

Equality & Diversity Managers, Senior Managers, Human Resources and Personnel Managers and all staff who have responsibility in implementing equality legislation.

Focus:

Colleges have legal duties to carry out equality impact assessments (EIAs). EIAs are a key tool to help embed and improve E&D practice throughout the organisation – particularly important as the New Inspection Framework has a much stronger focus on equal opportunities. There will be a significantly greater scrutiny of equality progress and practice, and, in addition, the inspection grade for equal opportunities, for the first time, is a ‘limiting grade’.

But what exactly is an equality impact assessment? Who carries it out? How do we do it? How do we record our activities? How do we embed equality impact assessments into everyday practice so that this becomes not the job role of one but the job role of everyone? This is a practical course that will demystify the EIA process and answer these and other questions you may have using best practice in the sector.

Purpose:

During this event you will:

• understand the principles and processes involved in carrying out equality impact assessments
• carry out equality impact assessments on a real college policy and procedures
• gain the skills, knowledge, templates and tools to confidently carry out equality impact assessments
• understand the strategies required to embed equality impact assessments across the organisation
