All Trust policies must have an Equality Impact Assessment (which we have called EQUIP) - and our main policy has been updated to reflect the changes so colleagues know what they need to do. Please make sure you understand what you need to do when writing or amending a policy.
A formal review of the main policy (which you can find here in general policies) has been undertaken to include:
- Update of Trust logo
- New EQUIP process described
- 10 key points added
- Financial impact considerations added
- Amendments to reflect implementation of new policy database

This shows we're demonstrating we’re taking all our patients’ and colleagues’ specific and individual needs into account. It’s best practice to do this and it helps us meet our Public Sector Equality Duty under the Equality Act 2010.
