Equality Analysis – Equality Impact Assessments
Equality Impact Assessments help us to place equality and
inclusion at the centre of our day-to-day thinking and activities.
They help us to understand the likely and actual impact our plans,
actions and services could have on different sectors of the
community and to target action where it is most needed. They help
us to:
- Identify how services can be made more accessible and
appropriate
- Ensure that different groups are equally served by policy and
decisions
- Identify improvements to services
- Avoid adopting harmful policies or procedures
- Make better decisions
- Become a better employer
- Demonstrate our public sector equality duty by showing how
services and policies do not discriminate against all
communities
Equality Impact Assessments help us to put right inequalities,
increase public confidence and serve all sections of the community
according to their circumstances and needs. We carry out these
assessments to ensure we have a positive impact upon on our service
users and employees.
Statistics for your area
The Council has been part of the Cheshire wide Data Observatory
and Research and Intelligence Collaborative (DORIC) partnership for
a couple of years. This partnership is bringing together research
and analysis resources from Councils, Primary Care Trust, Police
and Fire and Rescue Services in the Cheshire Halton and Warrington
area to make information about people and places easier to
access.
The area profile is a user friendly tool that provides access to
a wide range of useful facts and figures about areas in Cheshire
East. It allows you to produce summaries of information in relation
to population, employment, crime, health, house prices and access
to services. It also includes information on what local people say
about their particular area.
