An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a way of systematically assessing the effects that a policy, project or decision is likely to have on different people within an organisation.

The EIA is a practical tool that can help to identify discrimination by analysing your policies, practices, processes, procedures, services, decisions etc. to make sure they do not discriminate or disadvantage people and will help towards improving or promoting equality.

This Pocket Book offers senior managers, trainers, supervisors, line managers, HR personnel, employees and employee/trade union representatives an insight into the legal requirement and value in providing reasonable adjustments in the workplace, how they can be managed and how to reduce the chance of future discrimination.

Reasonable adjustments allow your employees to carry on working or to overcome barriers they face in the workplace. These reasonable adjustments may be to access the recruitment process, to start a new post or to allow an existing employee to continue to effectively contribute to the organisation. Many reasonable adjustments cost little or nothing. But they can make a big difference to an employee with a disability.

Employers should have effective procedures to meet the needs of employees with disabilities, encouraging employees to request reasonable adjustments will enable them to continue working and reach their full capability.
