Independent Advocacy Social Care Pilot Fund: equality impact assessment
This equality impact assessment focuses on options to increase independent advocacy through the Independent Advocacy Social Care Pilot Fund, in order to better support people as they access, or seek to access, social care services.
Executive summary
This Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) has been carried out to assess the impact that increasing independent advocacy provision via a competitive grant fund would have on people with protected characteristics.
As a result of this EQIA, changes are proposed to help address indirect discrimination and help ensure all Public Sector Equality duties are met in the development of this proposal going forward.
