Online Equality Impact Assessment Toolkit

Equality impact assessments are now a legal requirement for public organisations. For others they represent "Best Practice" and help to enhance service provision to all stakeholders.

With many years experience in diversity and equality impact assessments, RMB have devised a customisable Online Equality Impact Assessment Toolkit that will assist your organisation to simplify and centralise the entire process.

The toolkit will take out much of the confusion and administrative headache that is involved with completing and collaborating equality impact assessments.

Features

This toolkit will allow your organisation to:

- Customise all questions, help prompts and logos to fit with your requirements, methodology and branding

- Break assessments down into manageable (less daunting) segments

- Provide useful customisable information, case studies and examples at each stage

- Manage the assessment process by automatically collating and distributing information to all relevant assessors and stakeholders

- Specify the frequency with which assessments should be reviewed or repeated, and provide automatic email reminders

- Put in place a safety mechanism that blocks continuation to the next section to ensure all necessary questions are completed

- Automatically publish equality impact assessments

Users will be able to:

- Navigate back and forth through the questions

- Save an assessment midway through and return at a later stage
