It is imperative that organisations look at all their policies, procedures and processes, both formal and informal, to ensure that they are meeting regulatory compliance with equality legislation and supporting the achievement of their strategic diversity vision and objectives. An environment has to be constructed that is inclusive, measured and rewarding, one that encourages employees in such a way as to lead to the achievement of the strategic objectives.
For all organisations we can conduct a review of your policies, procedures and processes to assess their compliance with recognised equality standards and good practices. In addition, for public sector organisations we can also support you in your:
Single Equality Schemes We can assist you in the process, formulation and review of your Race, Gender, and Disability equality schemes, and in the development of a Single Equality Scheme that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Equality Impact Assessment Conduct EIAs to determine the extent, if any, of differential impact upon relevant groups and in turn whether that impact is adverse, that is whether it has a negative impact on groups or individuals in relation to one or more of the equality categories. Moreover, our approach looks to embed and mainstream the EIA process so that staff will be in a position to conduct EIA on an ongoing basis as new policies and practices emerge.
