NHSScotland adoption, fostering and kinship policy: equality impact assessment
National equality impact assessments were undertaken as part of the policy development process to refresh extant NHSScotland Partnership Information Network workforce policies. This report summarises key findings from the equality impact assessment (EQIA) record prepared for the NHSScotland adoption, fostering and kinship policy.
Title of Policy
NHSScotland Adoption, Fostering and Kinship Policy
Summary of aims and desired outcomes of Policy
The aim of the policy is to :
- outline the eligibility procedure employees must use to request adoption leave, and the support available for fostering and kinship care
