Where Do You Draw The Line - Miriam Lynn

• This module introduces Equality & Diversity at the University

Equality Impact Assessments: Embedding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion The Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is the University’s mechanism for undertaking equality analysis of new, or changes to existing, policies, functions or practice. This helps us to understand the actual, or potential, impact of policies, functions or practice when assessed against the nine protected characteristics. This session will explain:

• what the process is
• what policies and functions should undergo an EIA
• who is responsible for undertaking EIAs

Examples will be given examples of situations where EIAs have been used.

The Faculty of Maths is hosting “Respect at Work” workshops for ALL staff as part of the University wide E&D policy and training programme.

This session will be held in room MR3. (Please disregard the AL.01 part of the venue address)
