Hi Chloe, In terms of the actual 'conducting' of EqIAs, we take the view here that they should be conducted by the specific area themselves. We in the E & D Team can advise, assist and hold a centralised register of EqIAs, but the area themselves should own the responsibility for their own policy or service provision. Assessing impact should become as much a part of that planning and decision making process as budgeting for it. In terms of the 'assisting', we are employing an Adviser who can go into each area. That would definitely be part-time in the sense that they would only be called on to assist with complex impact assessments and this might amount to around a day a week (although we haven't assessed this over a long enough period yet to be definitive). They might spend an additional hour or so on the telephone/ email directing managers to where they might access relevant data.

Are they fixed term? Are they Full Time or Part Time? And where in your institution does this position sit? Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
