How can I ensure that the departmental policies, procedures and practices are not discriminatory?
This can be ensured by: a) reviewing policies, procedures and practices from time to time in terms of any equality impact (which includes active involvement of equality groups such as disabled, gender, race etc); and b) proactively anticipating the impact on any equality group whenever a new policy, procedure or practice is being developed or introduced. A more formal method of ensuring the above is to conduct an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA). An EIA tool is currently being developed, which will then be applied to all new policies and policies undergoing review.
