Non-binary equality action plan: equality impact assessment

Stage 5 - Authorisation of EQIA

This Equality Impact Assessment has informed the development of the Non-Binary Equality Action Plan.

Opportunities to promote equality in respect of age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation have been considered, including:

• Eliminating unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation;
• Removing or minimising any barriers and/or disadvantages;
• Taking steps which assist with promoting equality and meeting people’s different needs;
• Encouraging participation (e.g. in public life)
• Fostering good relations, tackling prejudice and promoting understanding.
