Summary of the results for the Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) undertaken to consider the impacts on equality of the Student Mental Health Action Plan; this has been done in line with the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) and the Equality Act 2010 (Specific)(Scotland) Regulations 2012.

Recommendations and Conclusion

The EQIA process did not identify indirect or direct discrimination through measures. It did highlight the positive impact of the measures across the protected characteristics. The Action Plan had been informed by research and data sources and these are referenced therein.

Although the EQIA highlighted the positive impact of the measures, in line with best practice we will keep this under review as part of the monitoring of this EQIA.
