  • Equality Impact Assessment
    Equality Impact Assessment Introduction An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to ensure that equality is placed at the centre of policy development and review, as well as service delivery. The purpose of this EIA is to systematically analyse the likely impact of a service, policy or proposals on different community groups, and how the needs of such groups have been taken into account in developing those proposals. The EIA can anticipate and recommend ways to avoid any discriminatory or negative consequences for a particular group, on the grounds of any protected characteristic. It provides the opportunity to demonstrate the potential benefits for equality target groups arising from a proposed policy or project. The need for an EIA stems from the general duty placed on public authorities to eliminate unlawful discrimination in carrying out functions, and promote equality of opportunity. This is outlined in the Equality Act 2010, with specific public sector duties in place from April 2011. 1. Name of Policy or Service (existing or proposed) Parks & Open Spaces 2. Responsible Manager Andrew Richardson 3. Date EIA completed Review date 20/05/2012 20/05/2013 4. Description and aims of policy / service (including relevance to equalities) The provision of high quality parks and public open spaces including playgrounds throughout the borough. To provide information and education through events and activities and encouraging the use of open space by others for organised events increasing the use of the facilities. 5. Who are the stakeholders? All residents of South Ribble, elected members and council employees. 1 6. What outcomes do we want to achieve?
