What the workshop will cover :

In this workshop we will look at EQIAs as a tool for helping you to ensure that:

Equality Impact Assessments (EQIAs) should be part and parcel of the way any organisation makes decisions - regarding both policy and operational matters. Housing organisations not only have their own workforce to consider, but their tenants, leaseholders, and wider communities to take into account when implementing, changing, or withdrawing something.

EQIAs are one of the ways that organisations can ensure that policies, actions or services do not have a negative/adverse impact on groups protected by the Equality Act 2010. They also help ensure that those policies, actions or services effectively meet the needs of, and can have a positive impact on those groups.

This workshop will leave you with greater confidence carrying out effective EQIAs so that your organisation can serve its staff and residents in a fair and equitable way. It can be held either virtually on MS Teams or Zoom, or in-person.
