How about finding out from "the horse's mouth"? What views do the Equality Commissions have on this question? Other ideas: The risks should also be considered for when Equalities work is not undertaken appropriately. For instance where institutions are given particular statutory requirements e.g the RRAA General and Specific Duties. It could also be said that risks will be synonymous with the opposite to the explanations that we always use when making a good case for Equalities-based institutional practice e.g when we refer to a moral case, an ethical case, a good institutional practice for all case, a financial case, an institution of choice case, among others. Also I think some common sense based conclusions need to be drawn as well. It is a fact that we are a diverse, multi- ethnic, religious, racial, variety of backgrounds etc. society, therefore our institutions, on top of all this, have to operate in a particular manner, notwithstanding the global environment. Implementing equalities within all the relevant institutional functions, is the only way of ensuring equality of opportunity and quality assured outcomes that are based on fairness and justice for all.
