Equality Impact Assessments
Summary
We want to ensure that we provide services which address the needs of all members of the community by considering issues relating to race, gender, gender identity, disability, age, religion and belief and sexual orientation.
Equality Impact Assessments are a way of rigorously checking strategies, policies, projects and decisions, to ensure that they are easily accessible. They provide a clear system of quality assurance, and help our service managers to focus on meeting the needs of service users in relation to race, gender, gender identity, disability, age, religion and belief and sexual orientation.

Further information
How do Equality Impact Assessments contribute to excellent service planning?
An equality impact assessment will not always inform the outcome of the final decision on a strategy, policy, project or decision. However, it is a vital factor in the overall service planning and decision-making process, similar to 'value for money', health & safety and risk assessments. Equality Impact Assessments enable service planners to:
- Ensure that the Council is delivering fair and appropriate services in terms of race, gender, gender identity, disability, age, religion and belief and sexual orientation.
- Ensure that Members are provided with the information they need to support good quality decision-making.
- Highlight any potential risk areas that should be factored into the project planning/decision making process, to prevent costly mistakes.
South Norfolk Council currently has an ongoing programme of Equality Impact Assessments.
