Fire safety - existing premises with sleeping accommodation guidance: equality impact assessment
EQIA on Practical Fire Safety Guidance for Existing Premises with Sleeping Accommodation-.
Stage 4: Decision making and monitoring
Identifying and establishing any required mitigating action
| Have positive or negative impacts been identified for any of the equality groups? | Positive impacts have been identified, as above. There are no negative impacts. |
|---|---|
| Is the policy directly or indirectly discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010[3]? | No |
| If the policy is indirectly discriminatory, how is it justified under the relevant legislation? | Not applicable |
| If not justified, what mitigating action will be undertaken? | Not applicable |
Describing how Equality Impact analysis has shaped the policy making process
This is not a new policy but the revision and consolidation of existing guidance. No changes have been made to the policy as a result of the impact analysis as none were considered necessary. No cost or resource implications have arisen as a result of the EQIA. No further policy work is planned.
Monitoring and Review
Progress on equality issues identified in the EQIA will be monitored alongside regular evaluation of the operation of the guidance. This is achieved primarily through the work of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service which uses the guidance to assist with assessing the appropriateness of fire safety measures within existing premises with sleeping accommodation.
