An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a way of systematically and thoroughly assessing, and consulting on, the effects that a existing/proposed policy is likely to have on different equalities groups or individuals, i.e. those protected within current and forthcoming legislation. The assessment extends to monitoring the actual effects of the policy, once it is put into practice, and being alert to any concerns about the way it is (or is not) working. The main purpose of an equality impact assessment is to pre-empt the possibility that an existing/proposed policy could adversely affect disadvantaged groups / individuals.
