Aim:
The Race Relations
Amendment Act imposes a statutory
duty on public bodies to examine
their functions and polices
for relevance in eliminating
discrimination and promoting
Equality and positive Race Relations
It is then essential to assess
the impact of both existing
and new polices and procedures.
Many organisations are also
taking the opportunity to carry
out impact assessments on all
strands of Equality, thereby
fully embracing Diversity.
This practical course explains
how to be successful when carrying
out EQIA.
It sets out the importance of
doing these assessments in a
way that complies with relevant
legislation and explores the
positive impact within the workforce.
But perhaps most of all it shows
participants how to actually
do EQIA.
See below for a few
of the many benefits and a brief
course overview:

EQIA and the different ‘target
groups’ within the workforce
