Key Information |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Policy/practice name: | School of Informatics Health and Safety policy |\n| General background/aims of policy/practice: | Updates to and review of existing policy |\n| School/Dept: | Informatics |\n| Assessed by:\u003Cbr>(name & job title) | Eilidh Guild, H&S Manager |\n| Sign off by:\u003Cbr>(name & job title) | Joy Candlish, Director of Professional Services, School of Informatics |\n| Sign off date: | 16 October 2024 |\n| Review date: | October 2027 |\n\n\n| B. Reason for EqIA | (check one) |\n| --- | --- |\n| New policy/ practice is proposed | ☐ |\n| Change to existing policy/practice is proposed | ☒ |\n| Other (describe in Section D below) | ☐ |\n\n\n| C. Who will most impacted by this proposal?\u003Cbr>Consider carefully how your proposal will impact both positively and negatively on people from different groups.\u003Cbr>Consider the 9 protected characteristics as below in your proposal. There may be other identity characteristics that you wish to also include in your impact assessment. It is expected that you will consider all equality groups for impact. Please indicate below (with a tick) which groups you feel will be most affected by your proposal. |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Age | ☐ | Race (including ethnicity and nationality) | ☐ | Marriage and civil partnership1 | ☐ |\n| Disability | ☐ | Religion or belief (including no religion or belief) | ☐ | Sex | ☐ |\n| Gender\u003Cbr>reassignment | ☐ | Pregnancy and maternity | ☐ | Sexual orientation | ☐ |\n| Other\u003Cbr>characteristics | ☐ |  |  |  |  |\n\n\n| D. Consideration of Impact\u003Cbr>Show your considerations of how all of the above protected characteristics maybe impacted. The following prompts will help you to reflect:\u003Cbr>• What information and evidence do I have about the needs of relevant equality groups – is this sufficient to fully assess impact?\u003Cbr>• Could this policy/practice lead to discrimination (direct or indirect), harassment, victimisation, or create barriers or less favourable treatment for particular groups and how can you mitigate any negative impacts?\u003Cbr>• Does this policy/practice contribute to advancing equality of opportunity and fostering good relations?\u003Cbr>• How can communication of the policy/practice be made accessible to all relevant groups? |\n| --- |\n| This policy is an update to and extension of the existing Informatics H&S policy. None of the contents are deemed to have negative impacts on persons with protected characteristics. |\n\n1 Note: only the duty to eliminate discrimination applied to marriage and civil partnership. There is no need to have regard to advancing equality or opportunity or fostering good relations in this respect.  \n1. Emergency arrangements  \nPotential negative impact on those with disability who may not be able to evacuate speedily. However, arrangements are in place (PEEPs) to counteract that.  \n1.1.3 Training  \nOnline training disadvantages those with vision impairments and may be difficult for neurodivergent people. Mitigation includes providing training in alternative formats on request.  \n1.1.6 Batteries  \nUsers of battery powered mobility aids may be at a disadvantage due to UoE policy on lithium batteries. Mitigation is that individuals should discuss their needs with the UoE Fire Safety Unit for specific guidance.  \n","cbCaihylKNeZjwzG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihylKNeZjwzG","pdf",278011,"English","# A.
