Equality analysis (formerly equality impact assessments) allows us to think about people's different needs and how these can be met when we:

• Act as an employer
• Develop, evaluate and review policy
• Design deliver and evaluate services
• Commission and procure from others

We will follow the Department of Health guidance in preparing analyses. Equality analysis helps us to make sure everyone involved in our services has a positive experience, helping to challenge discrimination, promote equal treatment and make sure services are easy to access for everybody.
