Jordanhill School Budget Review 2025/26: equality impact assessment
Equality impact assessment impact (EQIA) for the Jordanhill School Budget Review. The Scottish Government policy is to seek to treat Jordanhill School equally to a local authority school, with no advantage or detriment.
Stage 1: Framing
Results of framing exercise
The Scottish Government has assessed any potential impacts on equal opportunities which could result from an increase in the level of funding awarded to the School in the 2025/26 session, and has determined that these do not directly or indirectly discriminate with respect to any of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 (age, disability, sex, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief, marriage or civil partnership).
An increase to funding levels will contribute to maintaining staffing levels, to ensure that current course options can continue to be offered to older pupils, and that the appropriate level of support is maintained and available to all pupils at the School.
Extent/Level of EQIA required
This EQIA will be carried out taking into account the low risk of an increase in funding to the School causing any negative impact on people with protected characteristics.
Officials have maintained regular contact with the School throughout the year to ensure that both parties are sighted on budget pressures, and the School has provided feedback on the potential effects any reduction in funding could have on the School, its pupils and staff.
