Training
The thought of having to carry out Equality Impact Assessments may seem daunting. We know how you feel. That’s why we’ve created a half day training course that will help you become confident and competent at carrying out EQIA. Our philosophy is to keep it simple, do the best you can, and don’t make it a paper exercise. Fit EQIA into your normal process or policy reviews and we really can improve the way we work.
