The Council makes sure that equality has an important place in all decision making process. This is done through our Integrated Impact Assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to assess how policies, projects, services, processes or functions can impact on:
- Communities and Safety
- Regeneration and Culture
- Environment and Public Space
- Equality and Diversity
The categories and question in that assessment are based on the council’s priorities and strategies.
The IIA should be used when developing proposals, to make sure the full impact of any policy is considered. When the form is completed and presented with the decision reports, it will help to review both the positive and negative consequences of proposals.
