Equality analysis

To help meet our statutory requirements, we assess the impact of our activities (projects, policies, strategies, functions and services) on equality. We do this by carrying out an equality analysis.

An equality analysis involves collecting relevant information and making evidence-led judgements on the impact of any activity and deciding the necessary action that is required to lessen any adverse impact. It also helps identify opportunities to positively advance equality.

Council senior managers and elected members use equality analysis reports to help inform the decision they make.
