Stage 4: Decision making and monitoring

Identifying and establishing any required mitigating action

You will need to consult your legal team in SGLD at this point if you have not already done so.

Have positive or negative impacts been identified for any of the equality groups?

Yes

Is the policy directly or indirectly discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010^[15]?

No

If the policy is indirectly discriminatory, how is it justified under the relevant legislation?

N/A

If not justified, what mitigating action will be undertaken?

N/A

Describing how Equality Impact analysis has shaped the policy making process

In this section, set out a narrative that describes how the equality impact analysis has shaped and informed your policy development.

Equality impact analysis resulted in identifying interdependencies with other policies and practices (for example, Standards of Behaviour, internal training provision) which are important to ensuring that the protections provided for in this policy and guidance are implemented in SG particularly in relation to safe reporting channels and building awareness and understanding of trans issues.
