An equality impact assessment (EqIA) is a process designed to ensure that a policy, project or scheme does not discriminate against any disadvantaged or vulnerable people.[1]

Definition

The EqIA process aims to prevent discrimination against people who are categorised as being disadvantaged or vulnerable within society.[1] These categories are called equality target groups (ETGs) and are currently designated by the Greater London Authority as:

  • women;
  • black, Asian and ethnic-minority people;
  • young people and children;
  • older people;
  • disabled people;
  • Lesbian people, gay people, bisexual people and transsexual people; and
  • people from different faith groups.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}}

Previous EqIAs have included other categories of people such as people on low incomes{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} and gypsies and Irish Travellers.[2]

Within the UK, EqIAs are still popular as a means of ensuring that the public-sector equality duty is met.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} However, on 19 November 2012, prime minister David Cameron announced that EqIAs would no longer be undertaken for government decisions.[3]
