Equality impact assessment

Equality impact assessments are planning tools that enable higher education institutions to build equality into their mainstream mechanisms of policy and decision making, including change management proposals and processes.

The requirement to consider the impact of our activities on all protected characteristics is embedded within current legislation and, in particular, the public sector duties for Wales of the Equality Act 2010.
