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. == Definition == The EqIA process aims to prevent discrimination against people who are categorised as being disadvantaged or vulnerable within society. 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. Previous EqIAs have included other categories of people such as people on low incomes and Gypsies and Irish Travellers. Within the UK, EqIAs are still popular as a means of ensuring that the public-sector equality duty is met. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Equality impact assessment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
