Expert Equality Impact Assessments for Organisations Across the UK
Clear, compliant, and evidence‑based Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs) delivered by specialists at Equality Impact Consulting. Helping public bodies, charities, and private organisations meet their Equality Act 2010 and Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) obligations with confidence
What Is an Equality Impact Assessment?
An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a structured process used to identify whether a policy, project, service, or decision could have a disproportionate impact on people with protected characteristics.
At EqualityImpactAssessment.co.uk, operated by Equality Impact Consulting, we produce EIAs that are clear, practical, and defensible — giving you confidence that your decisions are transparent, inclusive, and aligned with the Equality Act 2010.
Why EIAs Matter
✔ Meet Legal Requirements
Demonstrate compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED).
✔ Reduce Risk
Identify potential discrimination risks early and avoid legal, financial, and reputational consequences.
✔ Improve Decision‑Making
Ensure policies and services work fairly for all groups, including staff, customers, and communities.
✔ Strengthen Transparency
Show stakeholders that equality, fairness, and inclusion are embedded in your organisation’s processes.

EqIA Reviews & Audits
If you already have an Equality Impact Assessment in place, we can review it to ensure it meets legal, organisational, and best‑practice standards. Many EIAs fail to stand up to scrutiny because they lack evidence, clarity, or meaningful analysis — our review service helps you avoid those risks. We assess the quality of your existing EIA, identify gaps or weaknesses, and provide clear recommendations to strengthen it. This service is ideal for organisations preparing for audits, FOI requests, public consultation, or internal governance processes. We help you ensure your EIA is robust, defensible, and ready for publication.
EqIA Training for Teams
Our Equality Impact Assessment training equips your staff with the knowledge and confidence to complete EIAs effectively. Delivered online or in‑person, the training is practical, engaging, and tailored to your organisation’s needs. We cover the purpose of EIAs, how to gather evidence, how to assess impacts, and how to write clear, meaningful assessments. Participants leave with real‑world examples, templates, and the skills needed to embed equality considerations into everyday decision‑making. This is ideal for HR teams, policy writers, managers, and anyone involved in planning or service delivery.
Policy Equality Review
A Policy Equality Review is a proactive assessment of your policies — before they reach the EIA stage — to identify potential equality risks, gaps, or unintended consequences. This service helps organisations strengthen their policies early, reducing the likelihood of discrimination risks and ensuring smoother EIA completion later. We review the wording, structure, and intent of your policy to ensure it reflects inclusive practice and aligns with the Equality Act 2010. You receive clear recommendations for improvement, guidance on whether a full EIA is required, and advice on how to embed equality considerations from the outset. This service is ideal for organisations developing new policies or updating existing ones.
