Fire safety - existing premises with sleeping accommodation guidance: equality impact assessment

Stage 1: Framing

Results of framing exercise

As the intention is to improve existing guidance and to clarify, but not alter, policy, it is not considered necessary to gather detailed evidence. This applies across the protected characteristics.

Extent/Level of EQIA required

As noted above, the intention is to improve existing guidance and to clarify, but not alter, policy. A minimal EQIA exercise is therefore relevant and external engagement has been limited, involving only the HM Fire Service Inspectorate and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
