IMPACT ASSESSMENT TRAINING
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 workshop will enable participants to:
Have an understanding of the relevance and value of Impact Assessments 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
