Inclusive Decision Making in Practice: Completing Equality Impact Assessments

 Delivered online via Microsoft Teams

How do we make the most effective decisions, that are fair and inclusive, if we don’t fully understand who these decisions will impact?

This one-day training has been created to give decision-makers practical tools to weigh all the factors involved, showing how an Equality Impact Assessment can help guide better decisions.

Learners will be guided through a series of practical exercises and facilitated group discussions to contextualise key legislation, explaining why impact assessments are useful in supporting fair and inclusive public services.

Whether you’re developing a new policy, reviewing an existing one or making key decisions, this course will support you to develop an inclusive mindset, integrating this into your work and ensuring fairer outcomes for all.
