Equality Impact Assessments

Is your service culturally inclusive and accessible? And if there are gaps, what are the actual steps you need to take to make improvements? These are not questions that can be left on the back burner.

Local Authorities and other public service providers are increasingly aware of the need to meet statutory requirements; yet finding the right assessment partner that can work positively with you is not easy. Operating within a respected framework developed by the Commission for Racial Equality (now part of the Equality and Human rights Commission), PeaceMaker will carry out a comprehensive review of your agency’s working practices and policies, to deliver incisive assessments that can then be used by officers as a practical guide to action.

By working collaboratively with senior executives, front line staff and service users alike, PeaceMaker is able to win organisational support for the process while ensuring it remains thorough and objective. Where necessary we can also signpost staff or service users to appropriate PeaceMaker training programmes.
