Equality impact assessment

We use Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs) to make sure that the Trust, in carrying out its public functions, doesn't unlawfully discriminate against any section of the public and that where possible it promotes equality. EIAs are a way of making sure everyone in the Trust thinks carefully about the possible impact of their work.
