Equality and Socio-Economic Impact Assessments are now Integrated Impact Assessments.
The council carries out impact assessments to:
- make sure we consider how the things we do and changes we make impact on different groups
- show how we meet our obligations to pay due regard to issues relating to equalities, inequalities of opportunity, children’s rights and wellbeing, consumers, and island communities.
We have created an online tool to help you complete your impact assessments. Anyone with a Council MS365 account can access the Integrated Impact Assessment app.
We have also made changes to the council’s impact assessment process. We have done this because the number of impact assessment frameworks has increased.
The Integrated Impact Assessment tool includes the following impact assessments:
- Equality
- Fairer Scotland Duty
- Island Communities
- Children’s Rights and Wellbeing [NEW]
- Consumer Duty [NEW].
The online tool will guide you through the process of completing the parts of the Integrated Impact Assessment which are relevant to your proposal.
