IMPACT ASSESSMENT




Tuesday 6th July 2004, Central London




This one day workshop offers an introduction to Impact Assessment. Using Astar's own Impact Assessment Framework, the workshop develops participants' skills and approach to conduct impact assessments and engage service users and the community.




What is Impact Assessment?


The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 requires listed public authorities to conduct an assessment of the impact of their current or intended policies, programmes and service delivery for any differential experiences or outcomes of Black or Minority Ethnic groups and to take action to remove any inequalities. Impact Assessment can be applied to other areas of equality and is a key business tool in ensuring equality of policies and services.




What is the Aim of the Workshop?


The workshops will enable participants to:




Have an understanding of the relevance and value of Impact Assessment in the context of promoting race equality


Gain practical skills to conduct impact assessments


Develop a practical approach to engaging service users and the community


Consider actions to achieve and promote race equality following an assessment





Who should participate?


This one day workshop is for staff and managers in public authorities. Participants should already have an awareness of the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 and be familiar with their organisation's Race Equality Scheme.
