Equality legislation requires the Council to demonstrate that we
understand the effects of our services and policies on people
with the protected characteristics defined by the Equality Act
(2010). To help fulfil this requirement we have adopted a programme
of thematic equality impact assessments. The themes are listed
below.
Impact assessment is a way of assessing and consulting on
the effects that a function, policy or practice is likely to have
on groups of people within our community. As part of this ongoing
process we welcome and value any feedback on our EIA process or the
documents published below. Any comments may be sent to us at
equality@barrowbc.gov.uk.
As part of our work on the Achieving Equality Project, we are committed
to developing a shared approach to EIA with the other
Cumbrian Councils. So some of the EIAs listed below will be
carried out by Barrow Borough Council alone, while others will be
part of a county-wide exercise.
Completed EIAs are published in the table below. Assessments
completed before we adopted a thematic approach are
grouped in the relevant theme.
