An equality impact assessment is used to establish how a policy or similar document may impact on individuals, communities or equality groups to identify and minimise or remove any disproportionate impact.

A full impact assessment should be undertaken for policies, strategies, procedures or projects which are anticipated to have an impact on members of the public.

This guidance provides staff with information on a range of issues relating to information governance to assist staff in being compliant with the relevant legislation and local policies. The aim of this booklet is to ensure that you are aware of your roles and responsibilities for Information Governance.
