Equality Analysis Framework

Abstract

This Equality Analysis Framework is underpinned by a 6 month collaborative research project and forms part of an expanding dialogue across the HE sector in relation to EqIAs. The project has sought to understand and respond to criticisms and obstacles to the effective use of equality impact assessments (EqIAs) across the sector. It has also explored the link between the emerging focus on co-production and EqIA practice. This Equality Analysis Framework is a work in progress and the sector is encouraged to view this as a dynamic collaborative tool to support proportionate, context driven approaches as a means of ensuring more effective and inclusive decision-making processes. This Framework is intended for use by those with EDI expertise and suggests an approach to support decision makers to engage with EqIAs. A separate accessible EqIA Toolkit for decision makers on EqIAs is also available.
