ALL sections must be completed – N/A is not applicable in this template as it is used to inform legal compliance. If you need to explain your bespoke approach further, please do so in the text boxes.\nInitial screening assessment\nAre there any aspects/activities of the policy, plan or project that are particularly relevant to equality, socio-economic disadvantage, or human rights?\nAt this stage, you do not have to list possible impacts, just identify the areas. (E.g. we are commencing a new programme of health care aimed at Caribbean men with diabetes)\nWhat existing sources of information will you use to help you identify the likely impact on different groups of people? (For example, statistics, JSNA’s, stakeholder evidence, survey results, complaints analysis, consultation documents, customer feedback, existing briefings, comparative data from local or national external sources).\nEvidence gaps\nAre there gaps in information that make it difficult or impossible to form an opinion on how your proposals might affect different groups of people? If so, what are the gaps\nin the information and how and when do you plan to collect additional information? Note this information will help you to identify potential equality stakeholders and specific issues that affect them - essential information if you are planning to consult as you can raise specific issues with particular groups as part of the consultation process. EIAs often pause at this stage while additional information is obtained.\nNo: Please go on to question 5. (Be sure to have fully considered all communities and parts of communities – e.g. have you considered the needs of gypsies, travellers and Roma communities, other transient communities, do you need to better understand take up of your service by Muslim women or Orthodox Jewish men, for example.)\nYes: Please explain briefly how you will fill any evidence gaps. You might want to start with contacting research or policy colleagues to see whether they can point you in the right direction. Our third sector colleagues will also be pleased to offer support and direction.\nInvolvement and consultation\nNote: You are required to involve and consult stakeholders during your assessment. The extent of the consultation will depend on the nature of the policy, plan or project.\n(Don’t forget to involve trade unions and inclusion staff groups if staff are affected and consider socio-economic impact as well as community and third sector groups for different protected characteristics.  If there is potential for different impact across different neighbourhoods, consult your neighbourhood leads)\nStep 2\nAssessing impact and opportunities to promote equality and human rights\nIf you have piloted a project you want to roll out, add here what you learnt about communities not taking up, accessing or having poorer outcomes from it and what you have done to address those disparities.\nWhat barriers have you identified for the different groups listed by your proposals?\nAdd the impacts in the box next to the group.  (e.g. we have found that working age people are not taking up our services because of our opening hour restrictions)\nComplete the identified barriers for each group and identify which group you have identified\nYou should complete each category.  If you believe there is no adverse impact, you should put an explanation as to why.\nCan the adverse impacts you identified be justified and the original proposals implemented without making any adjustments to them? If so, please set out the basis on which you justify implementing the proposals without adjustments.\nHaving analysed the initial and additional sources of information including feedback from consultation, is there any evidence that the proposed changes will have a positive impact on any of these different groups of people and/or promot","cbCaipozD9fkOhEh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipozD9fkOhEh","docx",93950,19,"English","# Step 1 Evidence\n## Initial screening assessment\n## Evidence gaps\n# Involvement and consultation\n# Step 2 Assessing impact and opportunities\n## Barriers and adverse impacts\n## Justification and positive/no-impact evidence\n## Consultation approach\n# Step 3 Strengthening your policy plan or project\n## Minimising or eliminating adverse impacts\n## Further promoting equality of opportunity\n## Further promoting human rights principles\n## Further reducing socio-economic disadvantage","[{\"question\":\"What must be completed in Step 1, and how should N/A be handled?\",\"answer\":\"All sections must be completed; N/A is not applicable because it supports legal compliance.
