Equality Impact Assessments
Trafford Council is carrying out Equality Impact Assessments, (EIAs) on a wide range of policies, functions and procedures to ensure that equality is taken into consideration in every area of our work.
As a local authority we should ensure that all sections of the community receive services appropriate to their needs, and that no-one is adversely affected in the way we deliver services.
An impact assessment helps us to ensure that the different needs of people are taken into account as far as possible. EIAs are included in our planning and review processes because they help us to plan action to address inequalities.
Each assessment takes into consideration the following six equality 'strands':
- Gender
- Disability
- Race
- Sexual orientation
- Religion and Belief
- Age
Schedules:
- EIA Schedule - Adult Social Services
- EIA Schedule - Transformation & Resources
- EIA Schedule - Children & Young People Services
- EIA Schedule - Prosperity, Planning and Development
We have also produced storyboards for some of the EIAs as they tell the story of how the assessment has helped to improve equality of opportunity. As EIAs are being carried out on a daily basis, we will be continually adding newly completed assessments to our Schedule and making these available below:
