| Impact Assessments |
| Under the Race Relations Amendment Act, local authorities have a specific duty to publish a Race Equality Scheme which needs to make clear which of its functions and policies are relevant to the duty and show what arrangements have been made for assessing and consulting on the likely impact of its proposed policies on the promotion of race equality. An impact assessment is a tool or framework that allows a service to thoroughly assess the impact of its services in terms of the customers it serves and the staff that it employs using data, consultation and any other information that is available. Findings from the process have to be translated into equality action plans and service plans, are monitored and have named responsibilities for action and identified resources if appropriate. The impact assessment is a public document. |
