Impact assessments

East Renfrewshire Council has a legal obligation to assess the impact of every decision we make and every provision we put in place, under both the Public Sector Equality Duty and the Fairer Scotland Duty. 

We us an integrated Equality, Fairness and Rights Assessment (EFRIA) to work out how a policy or function will affect the wellbeing of different groups of people, with particular needs, or who are disadvantaged in some way.  EFRIA is an opportunity to drive fairness and good business practice.
