Will the implementation of your policy, directly or indirectly, result in: individuals being employed; a change in staffing levels, terms and conditions, employer or location? – No

Is there a change in the size of budget, or an impact on resources, and will this change (potentially) impact on individuals? For example, will a service be withdrawn, changed or expanded? – No

Will your policy impact on another policy that affects people? - No

The administration regulations SSI has no relevance to socio-economic inequalities. This is because:

• There will be no immediate material changes
• Individuals will not be denied access to, a service or function as a result of the policy changes proposed
• There will not be a change in the size of the budget, or an impact on resources, and there will not be a service withdrawn, changed or expanded.
• The policy will not impact on other policies that affect people.
• It is not assessed that the SSI will have any impact on those who share a protected characteristic.

There may be scope to address any socio-economic inequalities in future secondary legislation, however this will be addressed at the time.
