Integrated Impact Assessments

The council has a duty to demonstrate that we consciously consider or have due regard to our equality obligations.
 
The Equality Impact Assessment within our Integrated Impact Assessments (IIA) aims to assess the impact of the council's policies, procedures and functions on those that have protected characteristics within Aberdeenshire Council. It allows us to make balanced judgements in all decisions, including difficult ones.  It is a vital part of planning and policy development, which will help to provide balanced and well thought out proposals.

You can view our budget savings IIAs. We also publish IIAs with committee papers.

If you have any queries on the council IIA's, then please email equalities@aberdeenshire.gov.uk.
