From Anna Boltong
The London HIA Priority Group is currently working on two HIA web-based
resources which would benefit from your input and which we plan to post on
the LHO website when complete.
1) A list of HIA consultants available to conduct HIAs. The LHO receives a
number of requests from organisations that are either commissioning HIAs or
submitting bids to tender for HIA work. These organisations usually want
names of people they could approach to conduct HIA for them. We are
updating our web-based list of names and contact details. If you would like
your name to be added to the list on the LHO website, please forward your
name and contact details along with the stages of HIA your skill set best
fits with, and the geographical areas you could cover to carry out the work
to [log in to unmask]
2) We do not intend to provide any quality assurance re: certain
individuals and their abilities and we feel it is beyond our scope to
'police this'. Rather, we are developing guidance on 'what to expect from
an HIA consultant'. We welcome input from both those having commissioned
and conducted HIAs regarding what they feel important quality aspects to
consider are.
Please contact Anna Boltong at the LHO on the above email or on 0207 307
2819 if you can contribute or if you would like to discuss either resource.
